Get rid of Vista. XP runs much faster.

Make sure you defrag regularly, it does make a big difference. Download a program called "Ccleaner", that will delete old files and clear the registery.

Other than that, there's not a lot you can do. The processor seems pretty crap, but the rest seems ok.

there you go Zach. Some of them are free. The new versions aren't. That's all I could find that were free

[madness]

really get xp or a linux distro- maybe ubanta and then a windows emu

[Sugaree]

Yes XP runs way faster than Vista. Vista is just shit when it comes to speed and ZP is much faster.

So get the upgrade. If I can find any free downloads for you on the internet I'll PM you the link for them.

Another thing I forgot to mention, type "msconfig" (without quotes) in the search box on the start menu, then hit enter. Accept the UAC box, click on Startup tap, then disable everything but your antivirus, windows defender, windows sidebar (if you use/need it). Then reboot.

use Windows XP no Vista and if u want more velocity buy more memory
