No it doesn't. I've noticed that you usually complain about your pc lagging whenever you browse a page which contains Flash animations (ex: arithma's portfolio site with the butterflies moving around). The same thing happens on my old machine which has a PIV as well. I think it's about time you upgrade your pc if you want to take full advantage of the modern web, which despite your hatred for Flash, it's loaded with full-Flash websites which are resource hogs when they're being run on less capable machines similar to yours. On the other hand, no matter how complex the Flash website is, it runs very smoothly on my machine which has a Core-2-Duo processor.
Back to the topic: the price is pretty good compared to the specs. I too think that you should've gotten an i7
if you could afford spending extra bucks.
