Replaced 2nd Processor - Now VERY Slow

I just replaced the 2nd of my two processors in my dual processor system (Tyan Tiger MP w/ dual 1600 MPs, 512MB PC2100 DDR), and now my computer is running (especially starting up) REALLY slow. I was running on a single processor for awhile (month or more) during the time it took for the warranty exchange to go through. I just got the 2nd one back in the other day and have had nothing but slowness since then. I never had this problem before when I had the dualies running. I've tried re-installing drivers and all the good stuff like that to make sure it wasn't another piece of hardware causing the problem and stuff like that - nothing seems to help. Anything I can test to see what the problem may be? Thanks for your help in advance...

PS - To explain a little bit more: I used to be able to crank my SETI Driver up to high and not see a performance loss at all. Now, I'm scared to take it above low because it's soooo freaking slow as it is.
 
I'm running W2k. Task manager shows both processors. They're pegged around 100% when SETI is running (as they should be - low priority though). When I turn SETI off, it drops down to an idle 2% or so. In either case though, I get the same general slowness of the system.
 
What over apps are running? I heard of slowness occuring with McAffee antivirus. You may want to also try pull out all the hardware except the bare essentials. I've also seen strange things like a funked up NIC causing this.
