That should be pretty damn fast..

What are you trying to run? If it's Crysis at 1600x1200 then there's no surprise..

EDIT: You need more than 2Gb RAM to run a 64bit OS properly.

Well didnt play any games yet but it seems slow when opening things. but my brother was playing wow and its night and day on the old computer it was all choppy and now its runs seamlessly. but now im getting an error when installing my printer (HP Photosmart 2610) its saying something about usbhub.sys

That seems to cause a bluescreen on XP SP1 and Vanilla. Try using windows update.

it seems that i am all updated. so what is causing this is it a bad copy of windows? or a hardware problem. cause every usb that i plug in seems to work fine

Have you installed the drivers for your printer?

Here is a link for HP's drivers. I noticed that they don't have any specifically for XP 64, but it may be worth a shot. If the error happens again, it would help a lot if you could post the exact error message.

For making XP go faster, here is what I would do:

Get a couple more sticks of RAM (link to Crucial's memory advisor), since going over 4GB is one of the wonderful things about 64-bit windows.

Go to the MSConfig startup tab and disable all the startup programs you don't need.

As with any new installation of Windows, make sure you have a firewall and antivirus installed. (I recommend ZoneAlarm and AVG, but there are many other good free utilities available, such as Avast! and Kaspersky.)

Yeah, XP-64 was horribly unsupported. You're far better off with Vista or 7. A 32 or 64bit version will be fine for you. Since you only have 2gb RAM, I'd say go for 32 bit. 7 64 bit has a 2Gb minimum requirement

well the only reason i went with xp is because all my programs are installed for XP other wise i would have gone with 7. and i will be buying ram within 2 weeks i just didnt have any more money to spend because i have bills to pay
