Could this be my Problem!

[KillerButler]

I was researching some issues with prescotts and found this.

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;885627&Product=winxp

I have sp2 loaded prior to installing the 2.8e prescott, since my old MOBO was the exact same board I didn't reload OS. The problems I have had go from not running the correct speed in windows all the way to very slow performance(IE clicking Icon and system locks up for about 20-45 seconds then runs program)Does that to all programs I have.

I just need some input on this.

Thansk in advance for your help.

About a month back there was a thread about Sp2 not playing nice with prescotts. You might want to double check on that. There is also a new hold in microsoft software that allows coding and viruses through jpeg files. There are patches on their site of course. If you are looking to be secure, I would stop using IE and switch over to firefox for your browser as well as using an antivirus and some combination of a software and hardware firewall. You should also probably disable networking options and access into your computer, which xp has on by default.
