Answer 2

Since the RAM memory is "refreshed" and cleared every time you start the system, I doubt that this is the problem.
You probably need to clean out old files from the HD and/or "defragment" it.
Over time the files get "broken" into smaller bits and "scattered" around the HD. Defragmenting will pull them all back together and therefore speed things up again.

IF you have XP, you might also see the users manual on how to remove the old restore points as they eventually take up quite a bit of space and can slow a system due to lack of hard drive free space when dealing with large applications and files.

Personally, I don't like HP's method of pre-installing because they add a bunch of "extra" junk, and I think it leaves the system unnecessarily slow to start with, but that is just my opionion.
