SSD stalls my Windows installation

SSD stalls my Windows installation

I've just installed Windows 2003 Server on a Corsair CMFSSD-64N1 64GB SSD and I am quite baffled from the outcome... This is the slowest experience I've ever had with my computer. When running a single program (ie: chrome) everything works fine. But the moment I start 3-4 applications my system starts to stall. I can't even scroll a web page in chrome for 2-10 seconds... During installations computer becomes almost unusable. I've never experienced something like this before. Any thoughts or ideas?

"I've had scrolling problems in web browsers before, which were usually related to video drivers. Do you have all of the drivers installed and updated?

Update
It seems that this model uses a jmicron controller which is related to the studding. User reviews on newegg are having the same problem with this particular drive, saying that it is not good at multitasking whatsoever:

Pros: Its fast with one application at
a time. Windows loads very fast
compared to the raptor I had before it
died :(, also applications load
quickly .
Cons: Does not multitask very well at
all. At first I thought it was my ram
but tested with occt and memtest86 and
it passed both test. Also tested the
cpu and it passed as well. I google it
to see if any other people had the
same problem and they did. Had I know
this I would of went for a raptor
instead.
Other Thoughts: When I multitask the
comp just gets stuck for about 20 sec
and then it will work fine but then it
will do it again, the problem happens
randomly, one minute its fine then the
other its not. Not happy with this
purchase.

Pros: inexpensive ssd
Cons: jmicron controller causes
studding just like others have
reported. Google jmicron and studding
and you'll see a bunch!
Other Thoughts: I tried all the tweeks
i could find (removing indexing
programs , removing cache on the
browser , and even lowering the
virtual memory) still studded."
