Pagedefrag is free (and a good product too) but doesn't defrag the MFT.

How you defrag the hard drive affects speed as well. By defragmenting
the Master File Table or MFT a computer can recover much of it's
original speed.
PerfectDisk http://www.raxco.com/products/perfectdisk2k/ has a 30 day
free trial and can defrag the MFT and the paging file (swap space).

If it's been a long time since you installed the OS, then a
reformat would speed things up. Diagnostic programs frequently
report erroneous info.

Roger and Clint,
Thanks for your advice.
I do have an outdated Norton AV. Also AdAware and SpyBot. I defrag
periodically.
I NEVER reformat. Haven't installed any applications.
I checked CPU speed at Posting at 2.50GHz/400MHz, CACHE RAM=128KB; so maybe
BCM reported the slow speed wrongly.
Thanks, P
Also, what's the CPU speed shown at POST? If it shows the
correct speed, well then it's running at the right speed.
When's the last time you reformatted? Has it always been like
this? If not, when did it start, after you installed
something?
