I recently installed XP on this computer:

Socket 754 Sempron 2800+
512mb RAM
VIA IDO204 chipset AGP8x
Seagate 80gb

Everything is fine except for the fact that whenever i try to move a window around on the desktop or scroll down a page (such as this one) the CPU usage spikes to near or at 100% and it becomes unusably jerky. Like it takes 20 minutes to get to the bottom of the page jerky. Everything pulls up fine, but its nigh impossible to move a window around.

I have tried increasing the shared VRAM to 64mb (from 32) and that did nothing. I changed to 16bit color from 32 bit and that helped a bit, but 16bit is is unusable and still jerky. I tried updating the chipset drivers with the newest Hyperion VIA driver, that did nothing.

Any ideas? I'm drawing a blank here.

Turning off show contents while dragging helped a bit, but not much.

Something is fucked somewhere, I have a 930mhz Pentium 3 sitting right beside me that has zero problems running XP at full speed. Speed is definitely not the problem, at least in terms of the processor.

I am only running at 1024x768, and 800x600 is no better. My ancient Pentium 2 could do better than that.
