Computer Slowness Problem

Comment:

I have got a 80 GB ATA Hard disk & 160 GB SATA Hard disk working together in a Intel Original Motherboard D945GCNL and D945GCPE Essential Series with Dual Core Processor E2180 @ 2.00 GHz and 1 GB DDR2 RAM. But it is taking longer time than usual during start-up and shut-down. Also Machine is running slow. Could do please suggest any possible reason of this and propose any solution? Should I extend RAM to 2 GB??
