I have a Compaq AMD-K7 Processor, 698 MHz and 128 MB of RAM. I have performed the disk cleanup, defrag, virus scan and adware/spyware removal after recently upgrading to Windows XP Professional. What would be the next step to improve my performance? Increase RAM? Looking for help. Thanks.
 
I second that get more ram 512 as a minimum makes a big difference.

procesore,you'll probably need new Ram with that
change,get a motherboard that runs DDR RAM then your 128
would run at speeds = 2 256,256 is ok,runs like 512.You
can get stuff like that at

a grand ,check http://www.price101.com/smoreinfo.asp?

Ignoring unhelpful prats like most who answered you; if a
box upgrade isn't an option, yes, more RAM, and then
disable some of the GUI enhancements. (Control
Panel/performance and maintenance/adjustvisual effects)

Your system still won't perform as well as a W2K machine,
but aside from a lengthy boot time, you will be able to do
most basic business tasks OK. Just don't try to run
latest super-dooper graphics intensive games etc.
