You would indeed benefit greatly from increasing the ram as my colleague
The Skeptic says
1GB is the absolute minimum for Vista Home Premium
Windows Vista system requirementsIf you want to run Windows Vista on your PC, here's what it takes:
- 1 gigahertz (GHz) 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor
- 1 gigabyte (GB) of system memory (512 megabytes (MB) for Home Basic)
- 40 GB hard drive with at least 15 GB of available space (20 GB for Home Basic)
- Support for DirectX 9 graphics with WDDM and 128 MB of graphics memory (32 MB for Home Basic)
- DVD-ROM drive
- Audio Output
- Internet access (fees may apply)
You would also benefit, again as my colleague says by having more free space on C drive.
HOWEVER there are other issues here.
You have AVG and AVAST installed - you cannot run two antivirus programs at the same time.
Not only will they slow your system down to a crawl, they will also fight each other and you may well end up with less protection - not more
YOu also have installed IOBits Advanced system care - yet again I think another anti virus of sorts is included in that program
Please be advised that the whole package of IOBits is best left OFF your computer. The only thing advanced about it - in my opinion, and may I say that of many other people,
is the ability to adversely effect the performance of the computer.
This is not something peculiar to IOBits Advanced system care it is a common aspect of software that incorporates so called registry cleaners, performance boosters and the like.
You also have IOBits Game booster - despite what IOBits may say about the program, please be assured that you cannot boost a system, that is not suitable for gaming in the first place - with any so called make it go faster - turn it into the ideal gaming machine software
See below please
1. IObit" "c:\program files\iobit\game booster 3
2 IObit" "c:\program files\iobit\advanced systemcare 5
3. IObit" "c:\windows\system32\smartdefragboottime.exe" -
that one will slow down the boot see below
4. "avast! Antivirus" "AVAST Software" "c:\program files\avast software\avast\avastui.exe"
5. AVG_UI" "AVG User Interface" "AVG Technologies CZ, s.r.o." "c:\program files\avg\avg2013\avgui.exe
IOBit Smart Defrag
"Boot Time Defrag" TechnologySmart Defrag 2 is using a new "Boot Time Defrag" technology which allows you to defrag disk during the system boot process, while these files cannot be defragged or are not safe to move after the system is already boot-up.
Not only is it very likely the cause of the poor performance WITH the AVAST and AVG together and the whole of the IOBit but the constant or near constant running of any defrag program is completely unnecessary
