Two words. MORE RAM. 64 will give you crawl. New Windows OS (Codename Longhorn) needs min 256MB.
Here is the run down.
MS says the followings (if my memory is still correct):
Windows:??
Win 3.0:4MB ??
Win 3.11:16MB
Win 3.11 WG: 16MB
Win95: 32MB
Win98: 64MB
NT Workstation: 64 MB
NT Server 128MB
Wn ME : 64MB
Win Xp : 128MB
Win 2003: 256MB
Win w/ Media Center: 256 MB
That is the bare min. needed to run a computer. If you want to run it at a decent speed, double that number. If you can afford/if the computer can take it, put more RAM in it. Also, as a good rule of thumb, it is recommanded that you set your virtual memory manually and to 1.5 times the amount of your physical RAM. That should speed things up.
On 95/98/ME machines, set your machine as a network server and it will make things load up quicker.
