Was is slow before you re-installed XP? If so then download ccleaner and run it often along with a good anti-virus. I also suggest putting another 2GB of RAM in there, only costing £20 and your computer will be quicker than when you first bought.

So defrag your hard drive, better yet, install an automatic defrag like Diskeeper, you can download free trialware at www.diskeeper.com.

Without the hardware drivers, the motherboard and other components will not function properly.
