It is not like after a reinstall, things get worse. and there is no such thing as declining performance from gpu or cpu. Maybe you might have got some drivers or settings wrong? I know you tried, but sometimes it happens. How abt installing XP again on a separate drive? If things work out well and fine, otherwise accept ur laptop's slow death. There is a lot of fun in going through the sad times with it and carefully planning out your next laptop :) shocking. your laptop performance decline is really strange.
