One day, prof recommended me to get 7 on it as it might become bit faster to load and close programs. I still kept XP as I didn't want to deal with all the works to back up and stuff, but it seems general perception is 7 is much faster than XP in general for all PCs.

That's why 'geeks' usually stick with the driver that makes their videocard work best even if it's an old driver.

Have you reinstalled Windows XP properly? That is to say, all required drivers have been installed and are up to date, you haven't done something like install two anti-virus programs, etc?
