XP is XP is XP?
Is that why I had to go into System Properties under the Control Panel, go to the Advanced Tab, the hit the "Performance" button and use the "Set System to best performance?"

Just curious, so now Windows will do this automatically if I have lower system specifications. How !@#$ing glorious.

Unless they can code their front end to properly use system resources, I don't think I will give them the chance.

I think my AMD XP 3000+ should suffice.
