quite often a reinstall is the best method as windows just seems to get slower and slower, just make sure you have any drivers and the latest service pack burned onto a cd to save time and the effort of downloading updates not needed and ofcourse "backup your data beforehand"

A reinstall of what?
You lost me on everything else. Sounds like things I'll have to pay someone else to do.
So far the extra memory is working good though. I can work with mutliple tabs at one tme and everything is MUCH faster.

Okay, that worked out really well.
I'm not much of a computer geek so this is kind of a big thing for me. I still have a slot left for 1 more 1 Gig card, but that's as much as my computer can hold, 2 Gigabytes. Any suggestions besides the obvious defragging route I can use to help speed this up even more? I have an HP Slimline Pavillion.

With a max of 2 gigs you would be a lot better off with linux. I doubt you are doing much gaming on that thing. Puppy linux is easy to install it and is known for being fast on slower machines. I had a 15 year old rig with puppy linux and that thing was FAST.
Ubuntu is also a good one, great for beginners but it will not be as fast as puppy linux but it would still be faster than it has ever been. Stay away from OpenSeus its slow.

There is a bunch you could check out. Just don't get one with GNOME 3 (gnome 3 is pretty much linux's windows vista) and you are probably not going to want anything with KDE. GNOME and KDE are just desktop interfaces. I recommend linux for you because being able to use multiple tabs should not be a great accomplishment and with 1gig of ram there is not a whole lot of fun you could be having on your computer.
