Look at what is being loaded at startup. Select Start > Run and type "msconfig". From the Configuration Utility select Startup. Look at the programs that starts up and see which ones that you don't need. Uncheck them. Reboot. Don't uncheck Sys Tray and Scan Registry.

If you are running Windows 95/98/ME, look at why the following system resources FAQ
http://www.aumha.org/a/res
User Resources and GDI Resources are limiting factors. So is the RAM. If you have more RAM, you would be running faster. The reason is that many programs load data into RAM as you used them. When you close those programs, the data is not removed. Microsoft programs are notorious for leaving data in RAM. When your RAM is full, the computer uses virtual memory on your hard disk. This extra seating and finding open space consume time. Transfer of data to hard disk is slower than transfer to RAM.

So more RAM means better performance. You cannot do anything about system resources except change operating system. You can do something about RAM.
