One of the big problems that I can see and a reason why your computer will be so slow is that you only have 384 mb of ram. 256 is minimum to run windows xp and windows xp recommends 512 for it to run well. So one option would be for you to increase the amount of ram. A second option would be for you to dial some of the settings in xp down. You can do this by:
going to control panel in windows
going to system icon
click on the advanced tab
go to performance settings
and you can either custom choose or just indicate adjust for best performance and that should make things in windows run a bit faster
