Have just installed xp pro sp3 on my old system. Celeron 1.8, 4gb ram, ssd sata3 120gb, geforce 310. I have installed spybot, cc cleaner, latest nvidia drivers, Samsung ssd drivers/enabled raid, and turned off hardware acceleration.

Websites load and scroll slowly but YouTube videos work smoothly on 1080p full HD and full screen. What's up with that?
