I feel that my computer should have better performance than it got, so I am wondering if there is like a specific component that delivers less performance. I will make a list of my components here:

  • OS: Windows Vista Home Basic (I know that vista takes like 1gb of the ram, could that be a reason?)
  • CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64X2 Dual Core Processor 6400+ (2CPUs), ~3.2GHz
  • RAM: 4094MB DDR2
  • Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT 512MB GDDR2
  • Mother Board: Asus Crosshair
  • HDD: 250GB, 7200 RPM, SATA-II

I appreciate any answers! :)

p.s.
If I forgot something crucial please tell me :)
 
I've worked on a few home basic machines and even with enough ram they were still slow as heck.
 
i'd upgrade to windows 7 home premium, and swap that chip for whatever i could put into the socket (its eaither soc 939 or AM2) if its AM2 you could get a athlon II x2 in there
computer should run fine, its got pretty solid specs as is, just Bill Gates f'd u with vista
Try C Cleaner (google it and free download) its got no viruses or spyware, i use it on computers everyday. Just do the basic cleanout, then run the registry. Check your virtual RAM allotment (should be 1.5 - 2.0x your ram amount, so 6-8gb) and defrag.
