Davey,

Depending on what you are using it for then 128mb of memory is enough. if you are just using it for workshop stuff try this first.
  1. Click on the Start Button
  2. Right click on "My Computer"
  3. Click on Properties
  4. On the windows that pops up click on the advanced tab at the top
  5. Now click on the Settings button under the Performance heading
  6. On the performance options window select the Visual effects tab at the top and then click the radio button that says Adjust for best performance.
  7. Click on the advanced tab then at the bottom click on the Change button under the Virtual Memory Hadding
  8. On the virtual Memory window make sure the radio button next to "System Managed Size is selected" then click the "Set" button to the right.
  9. Click OK
  10. Click OK to the message abut restarting the computer
  11. Click OK on the Performance options Window
  12. Click Ok on the System properties Window
  13. Restart the computer
This will get rid of all the fancy look of Windows XP but will free up quite a lot of memory.
