Poor Performance in my WinXP RC2

Hello there...
I am encountering bad performance in my WindowsXP RC2. Is is 'normal' or not? I mean:
[list]
[*]Logon screen images fades and moves very slov (like framerate=5)
[*]Mouse cursor stops from time to time
[*]If simple task is run, performance monitor shows high rates - CPU usage (Kernel Times) is very high
[*]...
[/list:u]

My hardware:
[list]
[*]PentiumIIIEB with 256 Megs of RAM
[*]RivaTNT2 Graphic Card (32MB) Model64 (Yeah )
[*]Abit BX133 with ATA100-Raid Controller
[*]IBM 20GB 7200RPM Harddrive connected to onboard HPT370 controller
[*]4GB Harddrive to Primary IDE controller
[*]Pioneer DVD (Slave), Cretive CDRW(Master) to Secondary IDE controller
[*]Creative SB Live! Player 1024
[*]3Com Network Card
[*]USB ISDN Device
[*]WinTV Hauppauge TV Capture Device
[*]...
[/list:u]

Well... What could be wrong?

did you check if your graphics card has a collision with any other hardware?

I think its the RAID.

XP doesn't like anything running off my RAID at all, that why I have it installed on a seperate ATA 33 (Yeah I know!!!)

The symptoms you describe are exactly what I had when I installed beta 2485/86/95 on my RAID
