Hi, I've installed CentOS5.2 on an INTEL Core 2 Duo (Intel(R)

my system gets sevarel minutes to startup, specially on udev daemon. Once the system is UP, every command I run gets 100% CPU and every is very slowly at the point yum -y update never ends. The system
installed
by default this kernel 2.6.18-53.el5PAE. I would like to know what's wrong with my server. Do I have to install another kernel? Can you
help
me?
With 4G I'd install the x86_64 version. Not that I think that PAE is
the
reason for this slow behaviour (last reporter who had that somewhere on bugs.centos.org had bad RAM), but ...

Well, I ran memtest86 and I got no errors....I installed this kernel 2.6.18-92.1.10.el5 and everything was very fast BUT, it only recognize 3GB RAM. :-( I installed CentOS5.2 64 x86_64 bits and I got the same slow performance.. On x86_64 I installed the latest kernel and nothing.. :-(
