Teh Slowness no good
RWB

I am totally unsure what is causing this, but I am getting some bad bottlenecks in my system. I am unsure when this started, but generally speaking, I cannot see any slowdown playing games, and I haven't tested everything. But when I try to do something, it can take a bit longer than usual for it to start.
For instance, when Defragging my HDD my mouse will studder around my screen when I move it, it is not smooth at all, and general applications like IE or anything small runs very slowly. I know you're not really supposed to do that, but I used to be able to while defragging.
I just reformatted, everything went smoothly and I didput in a MB I thought I fried, but it works now that I fixed it(had AS3 on the backside somehow).
Thing is... it runs applications normal, but studders on things that it normally wouldn't studder on. I do have F@H running as service in the background.

Well, we know it's not that. Do you have any other resident programs running?
It's easy to check if you have XP. Just go to the task manager, and click over to the processes tab. It will show you what resident programs are eating up which resources. It's a little more involved if you're in an earlier Windows version.
Can someone tell me what the hell this was? I can't remember, but if I change this driver to ACPI which one should I use?
ACPI for Uniprocessor
ACPI for Multi
Or... (ACPI) PC

There is no (as the above linked to thread concluded) easy way to change from a Standard PC computer installation to an ACPI variant with a repair of full re-install.
