I am 100% certain that it is the HDD.  I am also willing to bet its a Maxtor.

 

The best upgrade would be spending a little on a 7200 rpm WD hardrive , or/+ a lower capacity SSD. 

 

Also buy a 2 gig stick of the same RAM and you're good to go.

What performance were you expecting?  

 I was expecting faster response time and better fps.

Bear in mind I wasnt talking about gaming performance....It was purely day to day usage of the computer, opening up files, loading times of games and that sort of thing. 

 

If you want better performance for games,

 

2 gigs of RAM is an issue here. I would suggest upgrading to 8 and check performance.  If it is still below par see if you can overclock the CPU and test it out.

 

Beyond that, i cannot really tell.
