My race car definitely meets the lower spec for NASCAR racing... how
come my car never is able to keep up with the other cars nor win any
races?

Or

Doctor, it hurts when I eat some food. Can you tell me why?

In other words Robert, we need to know the specs of the machine and what
video card, amount of memory, type of hard drive setup (dual boot, only
linux, LiveCD... etc) and does it do it from a COLD boot... or is it
after a Warm boot from Windows... or any many various other pieces of
info that could be pertinent. Like how did you install/run Linux on the
machine.

So spill it. Then we can help you. Otherwise, it's a shot in the dark.
