Why does SL not run smooth?

Did you follow the link for recommendations regarding your CPU speed?

It looks like you have found your answer.  You are trying to run SL in a 64-bit Windows 7environment and the CPU is not fast enough to handle it. You might try running in 32-bit emulation mode to see if that helps.  If not, your only alternative is to be patient until you can replace your computer with one that has a faster CPU.

With that processor speed and that OS you probably are not going to get SL to work the way you want.  That seems to be a laptop processor, right?  Then upgrading your CPU isn't really an easy option. 

If you are stuck using that computer and you really really want to run SL, the only thing I could think of suggesting (besides a new computer which is not always an option) is perhaps changing your OS.  It's a drastic step, but going to XP would put you within the recommendations. 

Or...

You could try something like Ubuntu.  You can download it legally for free, install it on a bootable flash drive along with a linux SL viewer and then use that when you wished to be on SL as a test.  You can also install it alongside your existing OS in most cases since it takes up relatively little disk space if you wanted to in the future.

I have actually managed to log into SL and conduct business in a very limited fashion on a netbook using the Ubuntu OS.  It wasn't great, but I was able to move around and communicate enough to attend a meeting.  (not recommended for normal SL use at all but it did work in a pinch.)

Fiddling with your OS is not something you should take lightly of course, back up everything you hold dear before you do that sort of thing and have a good recovery disk handy should things go badly.  That being said, it is an option...
