SW 2010 SP0.0 64bit Running slow

Hello everyone, need some help here.

current setup for SW 2010 SP0.0 is the following:

XP PRO 64bit DELL Precision T7400 w/ Xeon CPU E5430 @ 2.66GHz and 12g of RAM and an Quadro FX3700 GC

Why would SW be running at a snails pace?

Is there a certain way I would need to set the system up?

I have been fighting this for awhile now.

Thanks in advance
