In my opinion (I'm not saying I'm right I just know what I've seen and what works for me) XP sucks. It has tons of bugs (Even with SP2) and is just generally a resource hog. I have never had one single problem with any Win2k machine I have ever worked on. (I administer a network of 12 Win2k computers and a Win2k server) My advice, get rid of XP. 2000 is a more stable system and it is easier to work with.

Currently where I work I was given a perviously used Sony Vaio, that is only a year old. It seems to have enough memory and processor speed, but it runs slow. I have tried defragging, shutting down extra Windows services, ect, still, it runs slooow. Like when I go to the desktop, it can take awhile and I see the icons being recreated. Other times I switch to a new window or desktop and it just sits there.
I have noticed other employees with Sony Vaios here at work complain their computer freezes alot [to me it appears their computer just go into a temporary freeze]. Desktops with XP seem to do better here than the Vaios.
Any ideas?
