Windows slow after moving from 32bit to 64bit

[fus10n]

So, I have a machine I use to run marketing software... I accidentally installed 32 bit on the system initially and just recently upgraded to 64bit. The machine was running quickly and smooth on 32bit, but after moving to 64bit I am getting, well lag is probably the best way to put it... the programs seem to run fine but I am getting lag in the processing of things.

Should be noted that I did not format before upgrading, everything was moved to windows.old, which has been deleted.

Specs:
6gb ram
CPU: Inten Xeon E5506

Any help is appreciated.

You may have answered your own question. You upgraded Windows instead of a format/clean install. If you have the time I'd suggest formatting and installing a clean version and go from there.

ughhh, yea that's what I figured but was just trying to avoid doing so....

Well in that case have you done any maintenance on the machine i.e ran disk defrag, ccleaner, disk cleanup?

Yup, have done all of those things. I was think about looking for a more in-depth registry cleaner than the one offered by CC cleaner. I also have visuals set for best performance and no page pagging.
