Why does XP sp3 make my pc REALLY slow/freeze? I have pent 4 3ghz, 1gb ram? Also ive been told that having anything more than 2 gig ram for xp is overkill regardless of what your doing or wheather using ddr or ddr2 ??

Thanks.I got a new HDD , a samsung 500GB 7200 16MB. I seem to be having trouble installing windows on it ie when i use the recovery cds i have(my pc was an ACER SA80) the first disc works and lets me select a language and says to insert 2nd disc but hte second disc doesnt seem to do any thing? I have reinstalled windows before using the discs and know from that,they do work however u cant change partitions/format or any thing like that(not that ide really know what im doing there anyway!) so im thinking as they are acer recovery discs and not dedicated ms xp software there is a problem with the HDD being bigger(was 160gb) or different make or could it take much longer to install as HDD is bigger?? ANY HELP VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.
noobs - don't piggy back questions unless it is relavent to the current topic. Post a new question instead.I have heard you dont really need SP3 and if things are working,why install it?
I prevented it on our XP upstairs because i didnt want issues on that computer.....
