slow xp perf. on compaq machine

[Guest]

I have recently replaced the OS of a Presario 7000 to XP home. After noticing incredibly slow performance, upgraded ram to 512. Sytem still is painfully slow. Could this be a bad H.D.?, What else would cause such slow speed after a fresh OS install?

Was it a clean install or was it an upgrade? Also, what is your processor speed? Your problem could be that you own a Compaq

The installation was clean, after a complete format. The processor is an

AMD 1.2. What do you mean about the Compaq?
