in bios u can overclock your processor be sure it AMD athlon 64 (or higher) or pentium 3 (or higher) otherwise it could explode and create a black hole
if u are using XP it will free up ~30 MB ram to change to 98 style if u are using VISTA it will free up ~150MB ram

There is not mircle program that speeds up your computer. The only way to do that is buy some RAM.

RAM doesn't really speed up your computer so stop telling people to buy more. 1GB is suitable for anything at the moment. Processor speed helps but not much (unless you have a 1600 or less).
Windows was born slow so you're gonna have to either defrag your HDD, manually remove all the shit or just re-install.

you could trial !xspeed for a laugh
games run at 4 times as fast in the trial.. in fact the whole windows setup runs at 4 times as fast without overclocking so your comp only uses the same power as it does now,
you would go out of sync with online games tho unless they used !xspeed as well,
but for speeding up windows itself its ok without burning out your cpu,

LOL, I laugh at your ignorance. How could used HDD space possibly effect CPU usage?

What about removing all of the BS rouge applications hogging up the CPU cycles.
How come no one even bothered to say anything about that ?
