Been sorting out a neigbours new desktop this week,1.8 gig intel CPU,running XP ,its working fine a lot faster then his old kit, had a bit potter about with his sons Laptop,also a 1.8 gig CPU running XP but it seems to be running at a tenth of the speed of the desktop,I mean its painfully slow at doing anything,could there be any particular reason for this?,only thing I could recommend was defragging the disk which has never been done but I suspect its more than just a cluttered hard disk,any ideas what could be causing this?
