I forget what specific one I used, but I've got to use a really old dell at work, and these programs are all that make it tolerable. That and cacheman.

I may be stuck with bad hardware, but I'm making the best out of a bad situation.

Sadly, though, I have to use McAffees on it, otherwise all sorts of other custom programs throw wobblies. That puts a hamper in it.

Anyway, run CCleaner fairly often too. And run through add/remove programs and get rid of anything that you don't use. That should do a fair amount.
