Faster computer - why the lag?

KatEnigma:
You find a copy of XP and you install it.

witch:
But NOT over the top of Vista, which I have heard that some people have tried to do. Don't know whether that's an urban myth or not.
Find a tutorial on the net and print it out beforehand. Find the drivers you need for everything and put them on a CD or DVD.

Ennarys:
I will consider it. Thank you.

There's a handy little utility called nLite (http://www.nliteos.com/) that easily makes custom XP install CDs for you.  When you install or repair XP, it asks for custom drivers on a floppy -- since most of us don't even HAVE a floppy drive anymore, this can be a problem.  nLite will copy the XP install CD, then you tell it which drivers to add (i.e., for AHCI disks, new motherboard, new video card, etc) and it generates a new image of the XP install CD with all the new drivers added.  Saved my ass recently when I built my new PC and moved my hard disk over from the old one.
