One of my computers is an old W98 computer. 25? mhz processor, 256 ram, etc.

I'm currently running Windows Xp on it.

1. First thing I did, was:

Control Panel/System/Advanced/Performance Settings
I turned all visual effects off.

2. Go to desktop, right click: properties/Appearance/Windows and Buttons, change to "Windows Classic Style"

3. You can also go start/run: "msconfig"/Startup and deselect any junk programs you don't want to start on logon.


That's all I've really done. Cutting down on the visuals really helps.

Turn off indexing service.
Right click on each disk partition and in properties untick indexing thing. After that turn off indexing service in services.This will considerably lower disk load.
