Opty PC really slow since format - help please?

[-Mike-]

My pc has ground to a crawl since I formatted it. I'm not sure what I've done wrong but the last time I formatted I had some issues with the latest NForce drivers and hdd access.

I now have a sata drive and I *think* I installed everything in the correct order. After reading the sticky I didn't do it strictly in that order but they are all installed.

I have an opty 144, abit KN8 Ultra mobo, 512mb Geil ram etc etc.

Things like internet explorer take an age to load or ages to do anything and I had one flash animation on windows live website take up 100% processor usage last night!

Help me please its driving me crazy

Both are installed, and were before

As an after thought, could it be because I haven't installed the processor driver?

Can you guys give me some advice also - I have three hard drives

1x80gb sata
1x80gb ide (nearly dead)
1x40gb ide

Which drive would you use as a boot drive and which as a drive for your programs out of the sata and the 40gb?

Cheers
