Virtualization Painfully slow after Mobo upgrade

I recently upgraded my motherboard in order to double my memory from a 2GB max on my old mobo to 4GB on my new mobo. I also did a clean install of Leopard and used migration assistant to copy most of my apps and settings to the new install. Leopard installed just fine and everything seems to be working correctly except virtualization.

 

I originally had been using Parallels Desktop to run an XP virtual guest OS. I did a clean install of Parallels on the new machine, but used copied the old XP vm to the new hard drive. The problem is that now, XP runs so painfully slow, that it is virtually useless. I tried creating a new XP vm, but that too is painfully slow.

 

I also tried using VMware Fusion and Virtualbox. Both were also painfully slow.

 

I can't for the life of me figure out what is wrong. I've enabled VT on the mobo's BIOS. My old mobo was a Gigabyte 945GCMX-S2. My new mobo is an Asus P5KPL-CM.

 

Does anyone have any ideas?
