Recently our PC seems to be going slower despite upgrading to an Intel
Celeron 1.8, P4 533DDR with 128mb RAM/266 Mhz DDRAM (we previously had a
Celeron 333). Our PC has Win2000 upgrade (originally Win98se) Is there a way
of checking how fast our PC is working or whether it is working to its
maximum speed.

Your PC might be affected by spyware. Download and run
AdAware - it might make a big difference!
 
pegasus is usually dead-on. I haven't been on in awhile, but my "slow pc"
routine includes the following:

1) dump the temp and temporary internet files directories
2) reset the size of the recycle bin and browser cache to mins -- and empty
them out
3) reset the swap file settings "appropriately" -- a lot of debate on that,
so I won't go into detail here
4) virus scan
a) new sigs for onboard scanner
b) housecall.antivirus.com
5) ad-aware
6) ccleaner
7) spybot s&D
8) reboot
9) defrag
10) reboot
