Yes, I reckon it's most likely to do with the fact that the windows installation on the laptop is fresher than the one on the desktop too.
It could also be to do with the motherboard, hard drive, BIOS and memory. Does the laptop have faster memory than the desktop, since it's a bit newer?
Also, despite having a bit of a bad name amongst computer geeks, I've noticed that Dell have been building some pretty good machines lately that are highly optimised for Vista.

Thanks for your input guys.
@arien617
I've actually done that about two months ago
@Cyco
Sorry I didn't clarify, they boih are laptops. Yes, the Dell is quite impressive on roughly everything. It is built like a tank unlike the crappy build on the HP. If there's one aspect where the HP excels it is the screen resolution, simply staggering!

Just noticed that Service Pack 3 for XP has arrived. Should I bother?
"Windows® XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) includes all previously released updates for the operating system. This update also includes a small number of new functionalities, which do not significantly change customers’ experience with the operating system."

As far as I know XP SP3 is still at release candidate 2 and is still not officially released. I am running it and it seems ok, not had any problems but have also not noticed any difference.
I have read to day that SP3 release has been put back due to a bug.

I read the other day that SP3 was sent to manufacturing and I read on one of the news sites this morning that its now available to the masses

It went to manufacturers on the 21st april. It was due for release on Auto update site from yesterday but has now been delayed due to a bug making it incompatible with Dynamics Retail Management System.
