Programs running in the background will slow things up as well, especially Messenger.
Practically all the Messenger programs; Windows, AoL and MSN, default to loaded and active when installed, so when your system boots up, Messenger is running via the Start Menu.
Before running AoM, just turn off all the background programs that you don't need. When AoM is running, if you bring up Task Manager and look at Performance, it will show 100% usage, so anything running with AoM will slow down your system.
