I'm running Xp Sp1 on a Celeron 1.7 with an Asus mthrbrd two hd (80 &
40g's) two cd burners 512 mgs ram Ati9100 Radeon and Hercules Game Theatre

The problem i'm having is that whenever i burn a cd the system slows down
considerably , when i was running a 700 PIII with the same config. except
the Radeon , i had no problems multi-tasking without any lag , but now on
this new setup it lags quite a bit when multi-tasking.

Is there anything i can try to fix this lag??? Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks in advance

I'm by no means an expert here, but it could come down to
the simple fact you're using a processor currently that is
outclassed by the one you replaced. The P3's were known
for reliability and hard work, plus I believe they had
512kb of L2 cache. The celeron even running at a faster
speed will not give you as much performance basically
because it's an inferior chip w/ 1/4 the L2 cache(128kb)
as compared to the P3.
Just my two pennies...
