Try pressing Control-Alt-Del and then check to see if any one program is hogging the processor. Anti-Virus programs are often responsible for this. If so, try using an e-mail provider that scans your e-mails for virus's before forwarding them onto you - saves having to install Anti-Virus on your pc.(Check to see if your ISP offers this service first - a lot seem to now. If they do, uninstall the Anti-Virus program).



Media Centre is designed to work best with 2GB of RAM. It will work with less, but it has to allocate a chunk of the Hard Drive to make up the shortfall and this slows the machine down. So if you can install more, then you will see an improvement.



Its an odd amount of RAM, so perhaps you have an integrated graphics card using some of the RAM too. That being the case, a cheap graphics card would improve general performance. Take care to buy the right type. I suspect your board will have ISA or AGP and PCI slots, but double check to be sure!



The processor is slow by todays standards, but i suspect that funds do not permit an upgrade. If they do, you dont have to spend a fortune, as there are cheap base units out there - see example link below. just find one in your country that is similar.



If you need a software program that cleans your PC for free try CCCleaner. Link below.How to make your cpu usage lower and make your memmory run more?
Uhm.



You can't unless you physically upgrade your computer.

Get more RAM...

And a better processor.



Your processor could always be under 100% load because you're multitasking with an old processor. Or you have a virus that's doing other things in your computer.
Try changing your computer its not up to it
