Slow windows XP

Hi there,

I’ve several new notebooks (Pentium M, 256Mb)equiped with windows XP. After a while (without installing new software) the new machines become slower and slower. The even come far below the speed of their previous PIII 128Mb brothers. It seems something in Windows XP, but even quiting startup services and applications doesn’t speed up de machines. What is happening? Why is XP slowing down after a while?
