Is there anything I should do to speed it up etc. I no it needs Ram etc.
 
You have very little RAM and the GPU is very low end. I don't know as much about Intel as I do AMD, but that's an older Pentium 4 so slower than one today that runs at around the same speed.

If it had more RAM and a better GPU, it actually wouldn't be too bad...
 
That's not too bad a CPU I suppose, but the fact that they crippled it with SDRAM is hideous. They choked the life out of it.
 
Its not to bad of a computer for internet or word. But you need to upgrade the ram to 512 if it is running XP. And if you want to game on it i would upgrade the GPU but it still wouldnd be able to handle much. But it all depends on what you are using it for.

I would recommend it to, but I remember my old Compaq 1.1Ghz Celeron that had 256MB SDRAM. I had Win XP installed and I played UT2004 with it :D

Isnt that a graphics demanding game? How did you manage that did it play smoothly and what settings did you play it on and what graphics card did you have.
