I just installed a fresh copy of Windows XP media center on my old machine:
VGN-S360: 1.7 GHz Intel Pentium M, 1GB RAM

and it seems a lot faster than my new Vista one:
VGN-CR123E: Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T7300, 2 GB RAM,

I have cut back all the Vista fancy GFX stuff and preloaded VAIO crap but still I don't get on with it.

Should I format it and stick XP on? I heard Vista supports Dual core cpu's better and other stuff so maybe I should stick with it?
