Ubuntu 9.1 runs quite slugglish on my old laptop from 2004. Slower than Windows XP that was on there.

It has 512mb RAM and probably 1.2ghz (can't remember) CPU.

I have turned off Visual Effects under Appearance Preferences.

Are there any other tricks to get better performance, or do I just need a better computer to try Ubuntu?

Thanks
