I installed SP2 on my Dell Inspiron 1100 with a Pentium 4 processor. I
immediately noticed it slowed down. Microsoft has a patch for the Inspiron
1150 with the Intel Celeron processor to speed it back up after installing
SP2. Will this patch work on my 1100?

Hi Mel,

I doubt it, but it depends on what the patch fixes. A Celeron and a P-IV are
quite different things, so if it addresses something with the processor,
then the answer would be no. As I have no idea what patch you are referring
to, I cannot advise you any further. If you have a link to the patch, I
would be happy to research it further for you.

Did you do a defrag after installing SP2. If not, try it. It may
or may not account for all of the slowdown, but it's worth
trying.

Hi Mel,

That patch definitely looks specific to that cpu, as Dell lists it as a
driver update for that cpu and motherboard combination. You might want to
try this chipset update though:

As Ken suggests in his reply, a defrag is in order. I installed SP2 on my
1100 back in the summer.....defragged and it was actually faster.

I've done the defrag and cleaned out as much as I could but still have the
problem.
