I do not necesarily agree. I have a P4 2.53 533fsb with
768 RAM 333mhz and have the same problem. XP Home can't
need more than that to run effiently. There must be
something out there that can fix the problem. For now the
only solution I have is to restart the system and at
least for a while it runs good. For the original post
check that you downloaded the hotfix q811493 after may
28. If not unistall and install new from Microsoft again
as this is supposed to have caused problems in the past.
