End unnecessary processes in your system tray at system boot. Under your start menu select 'run' and type 'msconfig' and hot enter. Go to your 'Startup' tab and deselect programs.

Uninstall or disable any programs that start up automatically (they usually have icons down in the system tray - lower right corner by the clock).

You could use Disk Defragmenter and uninstall/remove any startup programs or any programs that you rarely use. You can also remove old error logs or turn off any visual effects.

The only way to speed it up is to remove most programs and give the hard drive some space. You could also add a video card.
