I just bought a new PC. The CPU is Pentium 4 1.8 Ghz. It was installed with Window XP and the DDR ram is 128MB. The problem is it is extremely slow. I wonder why. Is it because the Ram is just 128 or CPU speed? Even my old pc Pentium III is much faster.

When I open an application, it seems to long time to load. The worst is even when I save certain configuration like clicking OK in Taskbar properties, it takes around 5-7 seconds!

Anyone can say a word regarding this? Thanks.

Get more memory, at least 512Mb required for XP in my opinion. Is that hard drive in the machine new ? or swapped out from a previous PC ? slower 5400 rpm drives also make XP look like it's crawling along especially if you don't have a lot of memory.
