Too long booting up

[Forrest Ganther]

Dell Dimension 2100 with win XP is taking a very long time to
complete loading Windows. This seems to have started after
updating winxp. Only have 128 meg RAM, would increasing to 256
help?

The Start-up folder is pretty clean.

Increasing othe RAM would very likely help. 128MB is insufficient
to run Windows XP with any acceptable speed.
How much memory you need depends on what apps you run, but almost
everyone needs at least 256MB for decent performance. For some
people, for example those who edit large photographic images,
more than 256MB--even much more--can be required for good
performance.

You don't say what CPU you have in your computer, but anyway, 128 meg of RAM
does not let your system breath properly. It is like a lead weight on it's
chest. Get at least 256 meg "more", for a total of 384 meg. 512 meg would be
even better.
