WoW that Pc sucks. Even my dad would show sympathy over that pc and give me a few $ for some upgrades.
Can't you get some money for Christmas?
Do you have a job?
If your looking to speed it up a bit then i would recommend these programs. Download CCleaner 2.03.532 - filehippo.com TuneUp Software International - Download Download O&O Defrag 2000 Freeware - filehippo.com
CCleaner - Removes junk of your computer like temp files and cookies, will free some room and make some improvements. Also has a registry fix.
TuneupUtilities - Has cleaners and registry fixes, removes "junk" files and also has registry defrag and PC optimizer.
OODefrag - Good defrager (defrags files arranging them in order for fast use) use the SPACE defrag for normal pc (I.E your's).
These should help a bit until you can buy new parts or a pc.

I feel you're pain man. I used to have a crappier pc than that, but you work with what you got. Even if it only gave me 25fps in warcraft 3. But yeah I must agree with everyones suggestion, you need a new pc, you should really show you're parents how much computer components have advanced over the past few years and how cheap it is nowadays to build a powerful pc.

Same here, my first pc was a dell dimension, with a 10gb hd, windows me, 633mhz celeron, and 128mb sdram. I "upgraded" it to windows xp, 384mb ram, an 80gb and a 40gb hd (and im still using those hd's in my rig now, years later lol) and a cd burner, but it was still too slow and i just had to build a new system, that was a few years ago.

Yeah, our commodore 64 was like that...the SE was our Cadillac while everyone else went crazy on DOS.
The C-64 had some great games.
