1.8 ghz quad core processor and 2gb of ram is plenty fast for a scantool , but once you start using it recreation ally to surf the net, leave multiple tabs open, watch streaming video and play music or games on it , you make it slow for what it is really meant to do .To put things in perspective , my low end 2yr old $300 Bestbuy Lap Top with I-3 quad core 2.55 GHz processor came standard with 6gb of ram and I already bumped it's ram to 12GB. Should try my 400mhz DS 708 and wait for Honda software to load to know what slow really is.
