Why is my computer running slow and freezing?

I have done a couple of virus scans and used various tools recommended from this site.  However, my computer continues to run slow and is now freezing up on me.  I am posting my Hijack This log to see if anyone can help.

The task manager says cpu usage fluctuates between 4% and 19%, the pf usage is 696 mb.  The processor is a pentium (R) 4 CPU 2.40ghz with 512 mb of ram.  Memory is 28.9gb on the c drive and 48.6 on the d drive.  I have currently 46gb free on the d drive and 10.5 free on the c drive.  I am running on Windows XP on Mozilla firefox.

i figured as much.  i was searching my computer for the type and size of ram to buy.  is there a way to alleviate that matter for the time being?  would uninstalling programs or stopping some of the processes running help?
