exactly what model “Acer Aspire Nettop” do you have?
i ask, because i find these words “Acer’s NVIDIA Ion toting Aspire Revo
nettop is getting a much-needed processor bump, with the company
swapping out the breathless single-core Atom 230 CPU for its dual-core
Atom 330 counterpart.”

which would tend to make it sound like perhaps while yours runs ELEVEN
year old technology XP ok, it just ain’t got what it takes for Vista,
Win7 or openSUSE 11.4
i can tell you this, my Acer Aspire One (model D255) 1.66 GHz Atom with
1 GB RAM and Intel Pineview graphics is pleasingly snappy running
openSUSE 11.4 with KDE4 (not quite as fast as the previous electricity
guzzling AMD 3000+, but dang close to it!) so, either your machine can’t
keep up, or something is wrong with your install and/or settings
and/or graphics driver…
-did you get your install image from software.opensuse.org or some other
place? (where?)
-how did the Live CD run…it should be a little slower than an
installed version, but even it should open folders and setting dialog in
MUCH less than 4 - 15 seconds!
-did you get the 32 or 64 bit version
-did you do this prior to installing: http://tinyurl.com/2ebcf27
-did you have any errors or warnings during the install?
-have you accepted all available updates via YaST Online Updater?
-what desktop environment are you running?
-opening My Computer, what does it say about your display adapter and
driver being used?
-does turning off Desktop Effects give better performance?
