slow computer,mssql2000,vs2003,vs2005 not sure were to post

This is probably not the correct forum but not sure where to post this. I
have a dell pc 2.4 gig intel processor, 1 gig ram, and am runing sql2005 and
have vs 2003 and vs2005 installed plus microsoft office 2003. Everything
works but the machine is very slow. It has 2 hard drives, and windows xp
proffessional operating system. On drive C (main boot drive) it is 40 gigs
with about 10 gigs not used. Also I ran the defragment utility on the disk
and it took about 18 hours to complete! Anyhow any suggestions are
appreciated on things to check or where to post it, thanks!

1 gig ram

And that's your problem right there... 1GB RAM is woefully inadequate for
all the software that you're running on the machine...
