Sluggish Performance All Round

I'm just wondering if anyone else feels the same way I do. I find Windows XP
Pro an annoyingly sluggish O/S where almost every basic task has an
associated (and noticeable) reaction time. I've got a couple of hi-spec
desktop machines but it doesn't seem to matter how much horse-power I throw
at it (cpu, hd, hd controlllers, ram, etc) it still runs like a dog. I've
tried turning off just about every "advanced" (aka power-sucking) feature
but it doesn't make a jot of a difference. THEN, on top of this creaker we
have to add the .NET framework and Visual Studio... and it's like being back
in the days of 300 baud terminals (without a GUI, of course). Maybe you
disagree?
 
Try going to My Computer, right click to get Properties.

Then you can adjust somewhere in there for Performance.....

It makes a big, big difference in Windows XP
