Xp Too Slow

This is a discussion about Xp Too Slow in the Customization Tweaking category; I bought a new IBM computer with Windows XP installed. I find it very slow starting up and very slow at launching programs. I spoke to IBM and they gave me a file to update the BIOS which I did. It has made some improvement but still not like it should be.

I had a intel 233mhz MMX cpu and 64mb of PC-66 ram and 4 gig ATA33 harddrive and it only took 50 seconds at the most to boot win xp pro to the desktop....on a decent machine like an athlon xp 1700+, 256mb should take win xp bout 30 to 40 seconds to boot up I say take ur puter back and get a refund.....best bet when upgrading or buying a new computer.....get it custom built with hardware and specs that u will use for general tasks etc....if u play alot of 3d intensive games like alien vs predator 2.....get something like a amd athlon xp with windows xp...and minimum of 256mb ddr ram....or if ya just doing video editing and stuff....go for a pentium 4
