That would be 133MHz bus vs. 166 (DDR333) vs. 200 (DDR400), so yes quite a bit slower. Isn't the XP 3000+ a 166MHz or 200MHz part? It's not a mobile CPU, right? I'd make sure you have you FSB set right and ram set to use 100% of the FSB rate. This assuming you have a 200MHz FSB CPU, otherwise yo

Just found this one yesterday, very nice full time replacement for taskmgr. Gotta love that for each svchost.exe process it lists what services are associated. Makes a great companion to MS' own command line "SC" for managing services. http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/

If you consider malware (forget annoying spyware) may be installed & not detected, an exploit is an exploit & the payloads can be anything, then there is a very good reason to consider reformat. A diary of what's installed, novel idea. I've never kept one for my life, much less my PC. Would you
