Your 2.6Ghz system has two strikes against it--first, Intel motherboards
are noted for being slow. They're reliable, but don't get the most
performance out of the CPU or memory. Second is the FSB--233MHz is very
slow for a P4.
As someone else mentioned, don't use a screensaver for best performance.

Windows is like SUVs; a bad idea, poorly implemented, unsafe, with a
lot of inept users, but a fact of life we have to put up with.
