it looks like ur processor with 433 MHz is too slow for running Win XP..\n\nfollw these steps to get the maximum performance it can give:\n\n-- Run Disk Clean Up for each drive every day.. it can be found in the start>programs>accessories>system tools..\n\n-- Run Disk Defragmenter for each drive once in a week.. it too can be found under start>programs>accessories>system tools.. this may take hours..\n\n-- Run Error Check(Scan Disk) for each drive.. Right click the drive icon.. take properties.. inside the 'Tool' tab it will be found..\n\n-- Check for unused programs that are installed in the system and remove if any..  this can be done using Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs..\n\n-- Right click My Computer.. take properties.. take 'Advanced' tab.. take 'Settings' under 'Performance' section.. choose 'Adjust for best performance' button.. apply the changes..\n   take 'System Restore' tab in the same window.. select 'Turn off system restore on all drives'.. apply the changes..\n   take 'Automatic updates' tab.. choose 'Turn off automatic updating'..(This step is not a must)..\n   click ok..\n\n-- Take Start>Run, type msconfig.. a window will pop-up.. inside that take statup tab.. check for unwanted startup intems and uncheck it all.. it requires restarting of the system..\n\nrestart your system.. now it will give the maximum performance it can.. good luck..

u can speed ur pc by utilising less amount of ram in housekeeping functions , such as exitting any unneccessary startups, through msconfig command on the command prompt you can reach the startup list and u can uncheck any unneccessary process such as windows messenger etc. from automatically loading , then u can defragment your disk from startup>system tools>disk defragmentor.\nalso increasing ram is good option but it requires investment, then keep your registry cleaned by using any good registry cleaner , but only full versions will benifit you.

There are many things which help:\n\n1. Start >> Programs >> Accessories >> System Tools >> Disk Defragmenter\n\n2. Start >> Programs >> Accessories >> System Tools >> Disk Cleanup\n\n3. My Computer >> Right-click your main drive (usually C) >> Properties >> General >> Tools >> Error Checking >> Check Now\n\n4. Download and install the Intel Application Accelerator from http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/iaa/\n\n5. Download and flash the latest BIOS from your computer manufacturor\n\n6. Download & install teh latest drivers from the makers of all your hardware.\n\n7. Use an anti-spyware application, such as Microsoft Anti-spyware. (http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx)\n\n8. Your question was "...for free" but I would still recommend adding more RAM (Crucial is usually the best) it is very cheap, and really speeds up your computer :)

1) Run a defrag utility at the end of every week.\n2) Regularly scan for and remove viruses/spyware/adware.\n3) Get unused icons off your desktop.\n4) Cut down on running processes. You can do this by telling some of the programs you see near the time in your start up menu NOT to start on startup if you are not immediately going to use them. Also research the functionality of the services under Control Panel->Administrative tools and set their startup type to disabled if you will not be using them (right click the service you want to stop, then select properties). Don't stop these without doing your research because you DO need some of them.\n5. If you are still slow, add more RAM. \n\nFor faster internet, also clear your cache, cookies, and temp files (Tools->Internet Options in Windows, IE)

Only removing programs that run in the background (processes) will speed up your computer. Cntrl-Alt-Delete in Windows XP will allow you to see all of the processes in the task manager. Check the "performance" tab, if the Physical Memory (k) available is under 150,000... you might want to consider upgrading to more RAM. If the CPU is always running at %100... you might consider a new computer (or new processor/mobo, etc, but something tells me you're not going to do that). \n\nHope that helps. \n\nCommon programs that people run that eat up system memory:\nAOL\nInstant messengers\nUncessesary Anti-spyware duplicates (you only need one)
