    Hello again,

    I have two 60GB 7200RPM HDD and I did a clean XP Pro install in one and a Sony factory install in the second.

    It seems like my system ran smoother with 60GB7200 HDD #1 with the Sony factory install in it. 60GB 7200 HDD #2 was a clean XP Pro install and memory increased from 1.57GHZ-to-1.62GHz. But what was strange is that the processor ran hotter up to 57C. Does this CPU temp taken from speedfan seem high?
