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!

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