This one baffles me. I have a P4 Mainboard w/ Pentium 4, 2.4. Stuck it in the closet when I built my new comp. The drives & memory were loaned out never to return. The processor never left the board. 6 months later I'm putting it back up for my sister. I installed new memory (512), new Maxtor 200gb HD, CD R/RW, and floppy. Trying to install XP Home but it is just crawlling along. I mean super slow. My new comp took less than 30 mins to install XP. My old comp has been at it for over 3 hours. It's installing, but at a snails pace. Has anybody had this type of problem that can maybe offer some insight as to why this is happening and what I can do to make it giddy up? All replies appreciated. Thanks.

To me it sounds like the memory is not compatible and or the memory frequency in the BIOS is set to low.
installing a program such as windows uses the memory to full capacity so that is the area in which to look.

Check your Hassa setting; if the box is checked then uncheck it.
