You know.. you many need to reload the system. I recently upgraded my bench machine from a 1.3Ghz Celeron to a 2.4Ghz Celeron. It would initially run fine.. then start lagging REALLY bad. I could tell when somebody was paging me on chat as my mouse would stop for about two seconds, then the chat window would open, then the message would display, then the sound played. I had to reboot 3 or 4 times during a 7 hour work day. I tried a repair install, no effect... I finally upgraded to WinXP and all is well.
