this very motherboard without any problems.

IIRC, OS/2 Warp 3.0 Connect was called by IBM the "Network Integrator", 
becaues it connects to so many different Network Systems.  I think OS/2 
Users are also "Network Integrator", since they have to know how to 
connect OS/2 to so many different systems in a Windows (TM) world.

My wife's LapTop With WinXP was recently updated to SP2, and shortly 
after, it started taking forever to be ready to use.  Mainly after 
login, not during booting.

Does it matter in the speed of "booting up", being ON a Network or OFF?? 
   How about the Boot Time in Safe Mode??   Have you tried Defragging 
the Drive??

I am still looking for answers too....
