Upgrade your ram like Joxley said to 1gb. Don't overdo it buy getting 2gb. It's a tad bit unnecessary. Click start, run, and type msconfig. Then you can uncheck the extraneous processes to speed up your bootup time. Take a screen shot, by pressing prnt screen on your keyboard, and paste in Paint, and host it using imageshack.us if you don't know what processes to uncheck. We can help you out if you don't know what you're doing. G'luck!
