The first thing is to buy more memory. Here is a cheap way to do it. LINK (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=658898)

I bought this memory last week. It is rock solid and had no trouble cooperating with the 512MB of Ultra PC3200 that I already had. While xp will boot and run with 128MB of memory, it will not run efficiently.

Hi razor, welcome to the "block".

I agree with efc the best boost for XP is memory. With 128mb you could try running XP in Windows Classic mode > Start> My Computer> Properties> Advanced> Perfomance (Settings) and check-Adjust for best performance.

Read this BlackViper Service Guide (http://web.archive.org/web/20041128084144/www.blackviper.com/WinXP/servicecfg.htm) and disable things you know your not going to use.

you may also change your hard disk to boost performance if its too old.
