My new computer just recently shipped in, and now it's all set up. However, I've been having a problem with it, and I'm not sure if this is natural, or if there is something I should be doing which I am not doing. When I go to my desktop, and start running applications, it takes significantly more time to load the application then it did on my previous computer.

My new computer:
3.2GHz w/ HT P4
1GB duel-channel 400MHz DDR
Windows XP Professional

Previous computer:
1.3GHz Duron
384MB 133MHz SD
Windows Server 2003, Enterprise

If anyone knows what's up, please tell me! ;)

It's that dueling memory.

I'd recommend formatting and installing Windows XP on it. If it came with XP installed, they probably also installed all sorts of other crap along with it. When I eventually formatted my desktop (500mhz) with windows 98 (years ago), I noticed a HUGE improvement over the factory installation of Windows 98.

Make sure you have a decent cluster size on it. Sometimes computers ship with 512 byte clusters.
