Win XP problems

On monday I installed windows XP final and just today I had time to sit down and really give it a try. I am disapointed in the preformace of xp on everthing except for games. It makes my system feel like it has 12mb of RAM insteld of 512. It takes me a long time to burn CD's now and it seems to lock up a lot more than Win 2k ever did. I was just wondering if part of the lockups and instability would be due to XP drivers not being released? I thought that XP would be using 2k drivers but correct me if I am wrong. Thanks for your help guys.
 
Exact reverse for me.

WinXP Final is zippy everywhere BUT in games. (Quake3 FPS on a Voodoo3 dropped from 56FPS on my dualy to 33FPS 🙁)
I have noticed a little instability, but I think it's due to my file system...
Nothing random, but every crash I have experienced ("XP") has taken down the OS with it (Except IE6's damn error reporting crap, and a SETI incompatability).
