I have it running on my 600X and do not have the problems you listed.

The symptoms make me think hardware, except that it appears to be 
stable... just really slow.

I'd suggest you run PC Doctor and do hardware and thorough memory tests.

That sounds really bad. If it were mine, I would remove all partitions 
and let it try again. If that fails, and you are open to the option, you 
might try installing from CD. Only CD's 1 and 2 are needed if you don't 
install any optional software.
