First thing you need to do is run msconfig and stop all programs you dont need from booting at start up. Uninstall any useless stuff thats been put on it.Then if its still laggy upgrade the ram.This is simple enough first buy a anti static wrist strap
Now you need to know what ram you have now.Should be on a receipt or documentaion.Buy 512 of the same spec.Unplug pc and wearing your wrist strap open the case and find ram slots. Open 2 clips one either end. check for the notch in the slot and the notch on the ram .The ram will only fit one way. evenly apply pressure until ram clicks in place(you may well need some force) thats it
