Another way of increasing a computer's speed beside the ones that you mentioned, is overclocking. It may seem a bit risky, but I guess it's a great way of speeding up a PC. Also, I wouldn't stick with the defrag/clean-up software that comes with the operating system. They aren't very good. Read more about speeding up computers at http://www.speedmycomputer.net/

@Cristian
Thanks for the comment. I would not suggest overclocking the OS as the system crashes very frequently and it may cause many problems after some time.
I had written a article on "Speeder-xp" which is used for overclocking XP. It can be used to increase or even decrease the execution speed. But use it only when necessary. Here is the link to the article on Speeder-Xp
