Re-install of winXP Home on 700x ?????

I had to re-install winxp on my 700x using the GW system CD's .
I got winXP working but noticed some differences in speed,
HD Folder layout, some missing drivers and other differences.

I talked to GW Tech Support, both e-mails and chat several
times but mostly just got a lot of "canned" answers which didn't
even come close to resolve my questions.

So, I'm looking for someone who has an identical system or
even a closely matching system who hasn't had to re-install
XP (yet???). Would like to do a comparision of some things.

My system:
Wasp Motherboard
3.0GHZ 800MHz FSB P4 NORTHWOOD HYPER THREADING PROCESSOR
Memory: 1024MB Memory Module
160GB SATA Hard Drive
18 LCD Flat Panel Display Analog/Digital (18.1 viewable)
128MB NVIDIA GEFORCE4 TI4200 Graphics Card Drivers
DVD-RAM/-R/-RW/CDRW Recorder
SB Audigy (Twister) Sound Card w/IEEE 1394
Boston Acoustics BA7900 5.1 Speakers (5 + Boombox)
Multifunction PS2 Keyboard
Logitec USB Optical Mouse
Panasonic 3.5 Floppy ID Drive

thanks,
clif

have had the same problem as you.

Thanks for the replies guys. I got it.
I needed to install the intel application accelerator but
without the RAID option in the BIOS, it must be turned off
or an error results (only have 1 HD, with 2 HDs RAID
would work). Got my speed back!

Again, Thanks,
