5.6 GB FTW7?

Last night I tried installing Win7 on 5.6 GB of space. (There was 17.0 MB left afterwards.) It's doable. The results...slow! Some people might say "DUH." But I wanted to see if Win7 would run at all. (There was a curious message and all...) And Win7 does run...

However, I don't really know if it's really the disk space that's slowing the whole thing down, or if it's the computer itself. I remember having problems with the way this particular PC was operating even before the install...There's something that's slowing it down, but I have no idea what it could be at this point.

So I'm going to do the reinstall, but this time, I'll use the recommended minimum, 16 GB. If I like it, I'll keep Win7 installed, but if I don't, I'll try something different! I am hoping this will fix the issues I was having to begin with...or at least help me diagnose it better.
