I just upgraded both my PC and my wifes PC from P3-700's to the following:
P4 2.4B ***
Intel D845PEBT2 MB ***
Mushkin 512MB PC2700 DDR Ram ***
Shuttle FSP350-60BT 350W +12V 2.03 Power Supply ***
IBM Deskstar 20GB 7200RPM Drive
Toshiba SD1212 DVDRom
Teac 1.44 Floppy
Visiontek GeForce 3 Ti200
Windows XP Pro
*** These are the new parts, everything else was already in the PC
There are no other cards in the PCs, I am using the onboard intel 10/100 LAN and onboard sound.
My PC works EXCELLENT.
Very Happy. My wifes PC is VERY VERY VERY slow at everything. I have formatted the drive, fresh XP install, installed intel drivers from the CD and updated via windows update. All connections inside the PC are secured properly. I have flashed the bios to the latest one available. I am using the latest drivers. I am about to start swapping parts back and forth between the two, and see if the problem moves with a part. My PC can d/l from the internet at 1.1M, hers can only hit 30K. If I open a dos-window command prompt, cd to c:\windows and type 'dir' my PC responds immediately. Her PC is very slow, it takes a few seconds to display the output and the CPU is maxed at 100% during this time.
What can cause this? Any ideas? I am very frustrated and would greatly appreciate any input.
