I have a question about Things that slow down system bootup:

I have a huge problem....I upgraded my system from: Athlon XP 2200/ FSB266 ESC Elitegroup K7S5A Motherboard 1 GIG SDRam/ PC-133 FSB Quadro 2 PRO/ 64 MB RAM ATA 20 + 40 GIG HD 250W power supply to: Athlon XP 2200/ FSB266 ESC Elitegroup K7S5A Motherboard 1gig DDR Ram/ PC-266 FSB MSI Geforce FX 5600/ 256 MB RAM ATA 20 + 40 GIG HD 500W power supply both on Win XP and not only is the boot slower ...but MAYA renders slower ...and overall performance is slower...except games of course...allthough my 3dmark is about 7800+=...which should be a lot higher from what I've read...also 512 of ram performs the same or better than 1 gig...I realy don't get it....also I've defraged the drives and I also ran windows washer and ad-ware 6 plus norton antivirus.... HEEEELP!!!please! The boot used to take about 30 sec. and noe it takes about a 1and1/2 min.....I have installed 4 games though...is that it?...but it syill shouldn't affect the windows performance only boot...thanks in advance!
