on low spec machines there are a few background services you can disable, lists around on the internet somewhere from a while back.
But I usually disable SYSMAIN and WINDOWS SEARCH services - that usually helps a bit. It will make searching files slower though if you make heavy use of it....
getting some more RAM in there will help, get the 2GB stick out and and another 4GB - and an SSD if it's still an old HDD, they're pretty cheap these days
and turn off things like windows spotlight, just use a plain colour desktop background etc

This world would be a perfect place if it wasn't for the people.
