Open it up and check out the CPU fan, heat sync foils, exhaust, etc... When dust and crud builds up and cakes onto/into these components the system will not cool properly and the processor will clock itself back. Just a suggestion though, not a guaranteed solution. I've got a Dell laptop that I have to open up about every 6 months because it bogs down so badly with dust buildup. Sometimes I'll go into the system properties and the processor will be at half speed but other times there's no indication that something is wrong other than it's operating very slow. I'm running XP Pro as well with a 1.6ghz Pentium M and 1.25gb's RAM.
