I just upgraded to Windows XP from Vista Ultimate using my Dad's OEM SP1 disc. I put in a key from the interwebz but I haven't activated online yet. I noticed when I move(drag) a window it gets choppy. The CPU maxes out when I do this. It also happens while scrolling web pages (IE&FF - CPU @ 90%). I switched from my ATI PCI (Yes, PCI) to onboard graphics card and it improved a little. I have 1.25GB of DDR1 RAM, 3.06GHz Pentium 3 CPU. I have only installed my D-Link wireless driver & included connection manager; and Firefox.

Shush, I think it's because the drivers aren't installed.
EDIT: Oops Mike, I didn't see your post.
That's what I am going to do.
EDIT2:
Damn, I have to open this thing up and find the model numbers and what not. I tell you, we bought this just at the wrong time. It has only PCI slots, has DDR1 RAM. Although those are my only complaints.

I think he typoed They didnt make P3 processors that fast. 3.0ghz is either
A)Heavly OC'd P3
B)Its not a P3(Or its not 3.0ghz)
You dont have to open up your computer
Just go to Start>Run then type in "dxdiag" but without the quotes. Then a screen will popup then press the Display tab
