Why is maple running so slow on my current PC?

Maple will run very, very badly on anything that isn't Core2Duo or better. I recently went through my pile of PCs to weed out what will run Maple and you can't do it on intel mobile processors/chipsets (like the E series or Celeron). The lowest specced PC I have that runs maple SOMETIMES is a Dell laptop from 2007 that has an Intel Dual Core in it (Win XP, 2G RAM, onboard Intel graphics). It only runs on empty maps, though. My current rule of thumb is that if the processor can run in 64bit mode, then it should be just enough (so long as it's not a mobile architecture).

Yeah I guess it is my processor than.. It's only running 32 bit , nothing special in it I dont know if I can upgrade my processor without upgrading my PC tho , thanks for the input, Is it safe to say that its the processor im running?

edit-- apparently it's running on 64 bit , my motherboard is 32bit . I don't think my processor is a core2duo it might be a dual core tho .. I don't know im frustrated with dealing w/ this cause the answers I get from the people who worked on my computer either don't know or worked w/ so many computers in this household that they just dont know which is which .. pissing me off
