whats the average install time for windows vista home premium? its been sitting at the half way point for the"completing installation" stagefor little over an hour now and I can't move my mouse cursor. Is that normal?

specs are:

AMD Athlon X2 4000+
2 GB DDR 2 800 Ram
E-VGA 8600 GTS 256 mb

I dunno if restarting in the middle of installing an OS is the greatest idea...

I find that Vista is really quick during the installation - but at what part does it seem to be hanging at?
