I have a machine here that has win98se and the following components

Athlon xp 2600
512 PC2700 DDR Ram
56x cdrom
40 gb WD hard drive
AD77 motherboard
fx5200 256mb video

It is a fairly recent build but it's running very slow. After correcting a few things ( including uping the fsb to where it was suppose to be . ) while booting or performing any task the mouse is extremely sluggish. several things have improved performance but nothing has cured the problem. Besides the mouse being sluggish the tasks ( like opening device manager) are extremely slow considering the system. It doesn't act this way in safe mode.


Any ideas welcome
