The computer speed completely depends on the speed of quantity of RAM, HDD, processor and FSB of mother board. Your processor is good enough to give better result with windows XP and did not mention about the availability RAM, if less than 256 MB, you need to upgrade and you can upgrade HDD not so mandatory if you have more than 20% free space. Under maintenance practice do regular "DEFRAGMENTATION and CHECK DISK" from selecting driver properties under tool tab.RAM will surely give boost and do degramenation

This HD has a very minimun Buffer 128kb _ Thats 0.128mb _ the newest HDs have a Buffer of 16mb thats 16,000kb - you need 2mb/2,000kb minimum or even 8mb - THIS 0.128kb is your WEAK link from getting the HD info onto your RAM
