do you mean actual PC performance or surfing performance? Fo home use: 1-you could upgrade to at least 1GB ram 2-If you have any security suites installed, Norton, McAfee, CA, etc I would uninstall them and use one of the free AV's as mentioned in my sig link plus a free firewall and a good spyware real-time protection. The software I mentioned is all free, if you use your PC for business then you may want to considered some pay software.
That is a start, I'm sure others will jump in soon.
