Wow. I find this very odd, in that I run Lightroom at lightning fast  
speed on my Mac G5 with 4 GB of RAM. Heck, I can even run it on my G4  
laptop with only 512KB of RAM. Granted, it's a tad slow on the G4,  
but it does nothing like you describe. This does not sound like  
normal behavior -- given the RAM you have installed. Even if it is a  
PC. <g>
