   What you want to do is get more ram. Go to http://www.crucial.com to find and select ram that willl fit your computer. Check the owners amnuel to see how much ram your computer can support. You can also try deleting any unused files that may be on your computer. Also try updating your computer more often as it will download the most recent drivers.

   try auslogic boost speed
   http://www.auslogics.com/en/software/boost-speed/download or tuneup 2008 http://www.tune-up.com/products/tuneup-utilities/ both have trials but still help speed up computer.

   they both contain many useful actions in each program. auslogic for example can clean disk, optimize performance, defrag registry and disk and memory, etc.

   Defragment your hard drives. Clear your %temp% folder by going to Start > Run and type in %temp%, delete everything in there.

   Also run a spyware scan and possibly a virus scan. Processes that you don’t need may be running. Ctrl + Alt + Delete, and then go to Processes tab and see what’s running.

   If your virus/spyware free, there are a couple things you can do get your computer working faster. If you using your computer for normal stuff and not gaming. You don’t always need more RAM you just need to perform a few maintenance task.

   First, if you haven’t cleaned your registry in a while. This is necessary. Your registry holds all the information regarding updates, installs, un-installs etc. Each one of those events produces a key. That key needs your PC’s resources and free space. So, if you clean your registry, you make more resources available for speed. Do a registry scan if you got more than 20 errors you should clean it.

   2. Clear your Windows cache files, this is your temporary file. It can grow up to a large volume and stop your computer from using RAM properly. In a sense slow it down by preventing it from using free space.Here is how:

   1. Quit Internet Explorer, Firefox, or any other web browser
   2. Click Start, click "Control Panel", and then double-click "Internet Options".
   3. On the General tab, click "Delete Files" under Temporary Internet Files.
   4. In the Delete Files dialog box, click to select the "Delete all offline content" check box , and then click OK.
   5. Click OK.

   3. Manage your startups. Your excess CPU usage is due to too many programs running in the background. You can cut these to barebones by alter your msconfig. Here is how:

   1. Open your Start menu.
   2. Click Run
   3. In the command screen type "msconfig.exe"
   4. In the "system configuration utility",click either "service" or "startup" tab
   5. Uncheck all programs that your are no longer using.
   6. Click "OK"

   Other great tip is increasing your virtual memory to simulate more RAM. This will give you a bit more resources for multiple program use or CPU heavy programs.
   Hope this link helps. Shows you how to do everything step by step. You should get a least 60-120% more resources and speed
   if you follow the tips.
