Ways to optimize your  (Windows XP) computer

Screenshot - 1_4_2007 , 9_08_00 PM_thumb.png
This site discusses ways to optimize your system beside from defragmenting.

To defrag, or not to defrag? If you're looking for ways to speed WinXP machines used by your customers, then the answer is Not.
...

So What Works?
Since defragging the disk won't do much to improve Windows XP performance, here are 23 suggestions that will. Each can enhance the performance and reliability of your customers' PCs. Best of all, most of them will cost you nothing.
1.) To decrease a system's boot time and increase system performance, use the money you save by not buying defragmentation software -- the built-in Windows defragmenter works just fine -- and instead equip the computer with an Ultra-133 or Serial ATA hard drive with 8-MB cache buffer.
2.) If a PC has less than 512 MB of RAM, add more memory. This is a relatively inexpensive and easy upgrade that can dramatically improve system performance.
