It's a Dell Inspiron 2600.

An external drive will not help!
Maybe a faster graphic card! Too, an Audio Card if your Audio is from the motherboard!
Over Clocking might be a consideration, but then, you need to know what you are doing!
Keep your system maintenance up: as few ICONS on your desktop as possible, each one takes up RAM that your system can NEVER use!
Clean out Internet TEMP files, the RECENT folder, and use a good registry editor to keep junk out of your register. Defrag is important also!
Reduce start ups to the absolute necessary. Each one requires continuous time slices off the clock cycle. The more programs that run, the smaller is the time slice for each program, not to include the swap time as each PGM is started and stopped according to its share of the clock cycle.
The computer manufacturer has nothing to do with it! It is all about the components inside!
If you want a fast, high performance system, at the best price - BUILD IT YOURSELF!
They all use the same, off the shelf parts except for the motherboard, smaller power supplies, fewer upgrade possibilities, cheaper DVD drives! They are out to make money, not give you a cheap high performance machine!

Nope. Its a Dell, what did you expect. You can try to overclock the Intel CPU, but that will most likely lead to a $500 electric range if you catch my drift. To squeeze a little more out of it, defragment the primary partition of the hard drive, and do a virus check. Given its age, everything is going to start slowing down anyway. The hard drive bearings are failing, cooling is becoming less efficient, oxidization is creating resistance. Yep, you made a poor choice of computer my friend.

If your drive is more than half full, moving some data off it will help speed it up a tad. On laptops, the performance bottleneck is often the disk because their hard drives are much slower than desktop hard drives. Also, run disk defragmenter.

flow away sufficient space for swap report (paging report, digital ram) eliminate all undesirable classes and centers (especially those that take place in device tray**) Run an on line loose anti virus/malicious application/undercover agent ware test (eg housecall) ** generally the decrease appropriate corner of your demonstrate the place time is displayed

Trim what's running at startup, and get rid of bloatware.
