Hi
Just found A three part series (all have been posted) for those who think the only way to get XP back up to speed is to either upgrade or re-install the OS.
Some of these tips are pretty standard (Defrag, Detect and Repair Disk Errors, etc..) but a few of them are pretty ingenious such as how to disable the performance counters in XP to free up some memory and process cycles.
From the post --
Well you have a quite Old Windows XP system and you worried about the speed of your system. It seems that your computer is getting Slow day by day.. Now you are tired of slow speed and thinking to upgrade just because your PC is running slow compared to what it was when you bought it new. But before deciding to upgrade the hardware try following things and it may restore the speed of your good old PC to its original state and you will not need to spend your hard earned money in upgrading the PC.
