I believe the hard drive is too small.
10GB of free space is not enough for Vista to run at a good speed.
Vista uses the hard disk much more than in any other OS.
Disk Cleanup, Possibly clear some System Restore Points if you think the
risk is worth it or upgrade the Hard-Disk to a higher volume. You really need
at least 30-40GB of free space for Vista to run fast so 60GB+ hard drive
would be best.

Hi,

Was it slow before upgrading the ram? If not, then likely it is that one of
the sticks is either faulty or incompatible with another or the system
motherboard.

GB and after it all my dreams and courage has gone in to vein; when I
start
to use it as it's working too much slow, even for an application like in
windows mail when I'm creating new message it`s taking at least 22 seconds
to
open it and it's same for other application like forwarding mail etc. I
