Hi.
I am running Windows XP Pro SP3, 1.7 GHZ, 256mb RAM. Very cheap computer! But, as I am only a student and have very big finantial issues. I am planning to upgrade in about 4 Months.
It takes me 5 minutes to open basically every window! I have run CCleaner, deFrag, AVG, and it is still slow! I have a program called RAM booster. I don't know if it is okay for my computer... It is ment to increase speed, but only uses most of my memory usage it starts from 3,000k and increases to 100,000k!!!
Oh and the blue screen usually appears in the 3 times that I try to start the computer! Then it pops up after 30 mins of usage. Then it should be okay after I reboot again.

And run your maintenence such as diskclean and defrag.
