Go into the options for programs like your instant messenger and tell them not to load on startup. You can load them yourself when you need them. This both saves time at startup and saves memory until you do decide that you want to use that program and go start it. If you're not sure which programs startup automatically, check the tray at the end of your start menu bar... they often put an icon there.
Go to your Control Panel, navigate to the Administrative Tools folder, then open "Computer Management". This will pop up a small application that contains, among other things, the disk defragmenter (under the Storage category). Navigate to that and select Analyze. This will take a little while. When it's done, it'll tell you whether you should defragment or not. Follow its advice (or you may just want to skip the analyze step and go straight to defragment if you haven't done this in a while).
In games, disable graphics options that you don't really need. Like showing footprints in the snow someone has walked over.

More RAM. Better processor, if you want to spend the money. Bigger Hard drive. End unnecessary processes. run msconfig.

clean-up registry (many s/w are available in net), uninstall unnecessary program, clean up temporary Internet files(tools-> Internet option->delete cookies, history,files), defragment your computer at least once in a month, don't keep so many icons in computer, clean up your start-up menu.
best of luck

Add the maximum amount of RAM is almost always the cheapest way.

1. You can increase the RAM capacity
2. Change the processor
3. delete the recent, temporary file in our system.
c:\->Documents and settings -> administrator -> my recent files
c:\->Documents and settings -> administrator -> cookies
c:\->Documents and settings -> administrator -> localsettings -> History
c:\->Documents and settings -> administrator -> localsettings -> Temp
c:\->Documents and settings -> administrator -> localsettings -> Temporary files
