Add more RAM memory (See if you can add up to 1-2GB)
Buy a faster processor (At least 2.4Ghz)
Increase HD space (At least 50GB, look for hard-disks with 10,000 rpm)
As far as the internet goes, try to get a broadband connection.

Clean your start up. Make sure you have only the required programs in the start up. These consume a lot of RAM space. Next option will be to upgrade ur RAM.

Free up space on your computer by deleting unnecessary files.You can set your computer to do this by itself (then giving you the option of what to delete) by going to the start,control panel,performance and maintenance and then free up space on your hard disk.

This may be due to few reasons,
First you remove unwanted programs from your machine.
then try using defragmenting your hard disk.
It will help your PC run faster.
