Which is the desk top manager that you use? The maximum saving can be done by switching over to a lighter desktop manager like fluxbox/window maker/xfce.

Yes.. pradeep is right and also make sure that you have stopped all the services not required by you.

There that is the problem please shift to one of the lighter desk top manager and your system will come alive. Let me tell you we run linux on a P2 system with flux box and the sytem is goog for all mandane activites so by comparision you have a super computer.
