I've had my I6000 for a little over a month, and after cleaning all the dell crap off manually... the only program that I have running constantly in my taskbar is Norton Anti-Virus 2005 and I average 45 processes. I don't run any other resource hogging programs, just the usual stuff once in a while. (AIM, Winamp, IE) I can't seem to get it any lower. I think the wireless internet card and all that takes up at least 10 processes, why so many just for the wireless internet? Even when my wireless is turned off, all the processes for it won't go away and I can't shut them down. Either way, it still runs flawlessly still and I've had no problems to date, peformance is great!
