Rotexy,
seems you have a bottleneck somewhere in your system. It is of no importance at all what kind of CPU, RAM, motherboard, graphic card and hard drive you have - the exact match of all components is vital.
I am running XARA on a - hold your breath - 233 MHz Pentium One with 128 megs RAM, NT4, a 16 MB PCI graphics card and a SCSI subsystem. It serves as a CAD machine, working in the background as an Internet access server for all office machines, and XARA runs smooth and fast. Fine tune your system, make sure you RAM is paged correctly, eventually replace the graphic card and check the system for bottlenecks.
XARA X trial runs on my 300 MHz laptop with 128 megs RAM, a 2.5 meg graphic card @ 1024 x 768 24bit, Win2000 Pro, and it is fast like hell.
Tweak your set up to the max, and you will see how XARA starts to fly.
ciao,
