Did they upgrade your hardware while they were at it? I do have 2GB currently at home an it seems to be working fine (compared to when I usually have 4GB in it, 2 sticks corrupted on me).

I find the single largest issue in any work computer to be how your IT group has it configured and whatever spyware / background utilities they have running that can really clog things up. For example I've heard indexing can really cause the HD to be thrashing about all the time but at home on my quad core machine it's never really been an issue. We use to have ePolicy clients in the background that would chew up crazy resources. Even now as I check the system processes, there's a lot I don't recognize...

Hmmm... maybe I shouldn't be on CP so much....
