You should find what process is using 100% of your CPU. This is not normal.
You can try the default windows task manager or the free Process Monitor from SysInternals (well, now it is part of Microsoft :-) to see who/what is killing your processor

make sure u have the proper drivers for ur chipset and processor ... and try going to a raid settup on the harddrives ... thatl prolly give u more of a speed gain than anything else short of a total upgrade ...

Try going to www.cnet.com, and go to the download section. Then download a ram optimizer. It is free.

I THINK YOU SHOULD CONDUCT DISK CLEAN UP, AND DEFRAGMENTER AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK!!. IF THIS DOESN'T HELP THEN TAKE IT TO A PROFESSIONAL TO GET THE PROGRAMS OFF OF YOUR COMPUTER THAT YOUDO NOT NEED!!.
I HOPE THIS HELPS!!.
