Discuss what's fucking going on, and which programs are best and worst. One-time "program" announcements from "established" webmasters are allowed.

That is, not being able to change windows(even with alt tab), simple dialog boxes taking 3-4 seconds to appear, etc

I know what you're talking about, but, this has happened on every computer I have ever owned from time to time ... new or old .. there are times when it shows 0% or 1% cpu and disk usage and seems to be slowing to a crawl - then blam - everything is processed/happens all at once, it seems like

Perhaps when it happens, it's just so busy it cannot report actual usage numbers .. but I have tried giving, for example, task manager the highest priority and it still happens

You have 2 choices

1 - Upgrade from Windows 95

2 - Get a Mac

I suggest option 2.
