I HAVE 768MB OF RAM AND A PENTIUM 4 AND MY COMPUTER IS
VERY SLOW. I STILL HAVE 77% OF DISC SPACE.I HAVE UPDATED
ANTI VIRUS AND HOT FIXES.WHATS GOING ON.
 
First why is it a turtle - in what areas is it slow?
A pentium 4 should do nicely for most things, however if
its games then you will need a good graphics card. it may
also be running spying or trojan type programs.
 
Try using the disk cleanup utility,then defrag.
After go to run,type:%temp% In the new window,select all
then delete all.Try opening cmd prompt,type:CHKDSK C: /F
C: being the hd
 
Just a silly observation but I think you mean tortoise.
Turtles can actually move quite quickly in the right
circumstances. :-)

As for your computers speed. There can be many reasons.
Mostly all you need to do is clear your temporary folders
once in a while and do general housekeeping to keep
Windows happy. (That is, if you are running Windows which
I assume you are). Hardware incompatibility can also be
a major influence. Check to see if you have any forced
hardware on your machine (especially graphics card or
sound card or network card). Check in you device manager
if all your drivers are correctly installed. And then as
has already been mentioned here, update all your
software. You can also download benchmarking tools from
the internet and compare your results with other similar
machines on the internet.

Good Luck
