Everyone thinks memory is the resolution. It's not the ONLY one. Here is a FREE method, that you shoud do every once and a while to help keep your system running in good shpe.
Do the following (this process will take a while, approx 3-4 h... though you don't have to sit and watch it the whole time).
1) scan with adaware, spybot (get tehm at http://www.cnet.com for free) clean that up.
2) scan with kaspersky online scanner (found at http://www.kaspersky.com )
3) run Defrag (open "My Computer" Right click on your c: drive go to properties and then click on tools. Click defrag and run that)
4) Run Disk cleanup (open "My Computer" Right click on your c: drive go to properties click the disk cleanup button the bottom right)
5) go to Start > Run > type msconfig go to the Startup tab and disable everything. Restart. On restart there will eb a window that will pop up select "don't show this message again" and click ok.
This should stream line your system abit. Remember to do steps 1-4 every so often to keep your computer running in good condition. You can use any antivirus you have to scan, I suggest kaspersky because I've cross tested it against some of the top AV programs and found it to be better.
Good luck!

It all depends on why it's running slowly...
Sometimes a system is infected with spyware, which slows everything down to a crawl. Running a complete adware/spyware and virus scan eliminates the problem.
Sometimes you don't have enough memory, so adding more RAM speeds it up.
Sometimes it slow because the hard drive is almost full, so freeing up hard disk space by uninstalling unused programs, deleting old files and emptying the recycle bin does the trick.
And finally- sometimes it's just an old, slow processor- like someone with a Pentium II 500Mhz computer. In which case the way to speed it up, is to get a newer one!

Go to the tallest building in your neighborhood and throw it out the window. You will never see it move faster than that! Just kidding! First, increase memory, run antivirus and spyware remover programs to clean out all those blood suckers, delete some stuff from your hard drive or get a bigger one, upgrade your board or processor to one with a higher speed. These should make it as good as new.

Optimization.
I use System Mechanic. Its an optimatzion tool that, well, optimizies.
It keeps everything clean (cleans out your internets junk and hidden files stuff) as well as organizing your hard drive and well alot more.
Its abit advance userish. but there are other ones out there. I tried System Mechanic and it works well so im keeping it.
Also, optimization only delays the necessary. Often, PC World recommends once a year but i think that abit much for most people, you need to reformat your hard drive.
So, its either RAM, Optimize, or Reformat.
Although whatever you do, you should get an optimize software. I believe you can buy System Mechaic at walmart or staples or whereever.

The easiest ways are:
1. Add more RAM (memory)
2. Get a faster (bigger) hard drive
3. Delete some stuff

If you don't want to put out more $$ to add memory to your computer...
Download Pest Patrol and get rid of ad ware.. and..
Regular daily use of your computer will inevitably cause it to slow down. As your computer hard disk becomes cluttered with more software and files it becomes sluggish. Each time you create documents and folders, downloaded music files from the Internet, transfer digital images from your digital camera, or transfer family video footage onto CD’s, you are using more of your computers’ hard disk storage and it takes longer to seach and find the files you want to access. Fragmentation of your hard disk is another cause for your computer running slow. The Windows® operating system stores files in different locations on the hard disk. If the stored locations are not adjacent to each other, the disk is fragmented and retrieving the files takes longer. You can use hard disk utility tools to defragment your computer hard disk regularly. This enables your computer to access files faster, however it can take several hours to completely defragment a large capacity hard disk and you would only do this occasionaly.
The Windows® XP operating system comes with a system tool called a "Disk Defragmenter". It is used to rearrange files stored on your computer hard disk into one continuous sequence instead of being arranged and stored in different places on the hard disk. Your computer hard disk will be optimised to function at its best if all the information is stored in an ordered way. Unfortunately, programs do not always place items in the optimal places on your hard drive, and when you create, update, or delete files or programs, your hard drive gets fragmented. To get all the information ordered again, you can defragment your hard disk by running the Disk Defragmenter system tool. To do this click on the "Start" icon at the bottom left of the computer screen and then click on "All Programs", "Accessories", "System Tools", and select "Disk Defragmenter".
When the Windows® operating system starts, it also launches a number of programs automatically even if these programs are only used occasionally. This consumes the computers limited resources and will cause a slow computer startup.
Just about every new piece of software will install itself into your computers’ start-up tray unless you explicitly tell the installer not to do so when prompted. The more programs that you have in the start-up group, the longer it takes for your computer to load up all those programs into the computers’ random access memory (RAM). All programs need sufficient RAM to run properly. If the programs in the start-up group are loaded but not being used, then there is less RAM for the program that you want to use. The application you want to use may respond sluggishly and slowly as it competes for more RAM with the other programs already loaded up. Closing down the applications that you are not using should release more RAM for the application you want to use, however some software may not do this properly and your computer may stop responding altogether.
To find out which programs are running in your start-up tray, click on the "Start" button at the lower left of your computer screen. Then choose "Run" and enter "msconfig" and click the "OK" button. Click on the "Startup" tab to see a list of applications in your start-up tray. If you are unsure about what they do, then leave them checked. Only uncheck the applications you do not want to load when your computer starts up. You will also need to restart your computer for any changes to take effect and your computer should start up much quicker.

Defragment your hard disk(s).
Clear your Internet Explorer cache.
Consider using a lower resolution, or a lower color depth for your monitor.
Consider using a plain color instead of a picture for your desktop - the picture takes up memory that could be used for other things. (This is also extra important if you connect to your machine via Remote Desktop.)

try deleting some of your old documents and stuff you don't need. oh yeah, and when you have microsoft word and the internet on at the same time, it makes the internet and the word stuff go slower. but, if you want to do it the expensive way, get more ram memory.

depends what the bottleneck in your computer is. check the processes in the windows task manager and see whether your memory or cpu is running into difficulties. defragmenting your pc is important for speed as is deleting any used programs as clutter isn't conducive to speed.

Higher processor frequency, or getting one with Hyper threading ( HT)
More RAM,
Getting a graphic card with GPU ( graphic processor unit ),
having mother board with high bus speed ..
and removing unused programs from your os and defragmenting it ..
