That computer shouldn't run slow all. You could probably make it run twice as fast without adding any extra parts just by setting up the operating system right. Unless your running Windows Vista. Then add a gig or two of ram to it, and a DirectX 10 compatible video card. Then it should fly at least for a couple months.

When is your computer going slow? If it is going slow get a better video card Is it running slow when your running 2 or 3 programs ? then upgrade your ram but this most likely isn't the case because you've got 1 gig of ram which is a good amount unless you've got vista. If you have vista you might consider getting more ram and a better processor. Is it just generally slow? slow startup slow everything you've just outgrown it ? Upgrade your processor Do you look at a lot of porn ? then download some spyware removers

Most obvious answer is to check your "msconfig" settings to disable any background programs hogging ram. Go to start menu - run - type in msconfig - choose selective startup - and disable any programs you don't need --- but be careful --- some may be necessary even if you don't recognize them. You can always go back in and change each programs status if your computer freezes up.

Time to upgrade start with the motherboard, this is a great upgrade board: http://www.gamegiants.net/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=&products_id=1254 You can use your existing components memory CPU video card while you upgrade to newer items!

?celeron i have factory stock ,out the door.well 340 intel@celeron/w 512=504 why i don't konw.504 ram . my math and probability tell me thats not enough celeron. pentium 4 or somthing should be used with that much ram. try technet.com "building your own computer" you'll find "the cable guy" to be quite helpful too .cause IF, you can build one....

If you're want it to run as fast as when you bought it, save your data to a disk, and then format (erase) your hard drive and reinstall the operating system from original CD's, getting rid of all the junk, malware, etc, that's been accumulated. Then when you install or reinstall anything, always choose 'custom' and not 'typical' install. Typical means that it's okay for them to put all extra 'junk' on that you don't want, like toolbars, weather bugs, etc.. If you want it faster than when you first took it out of the box, add more RAM and a faster video card, but still do above. . .
