I want my computer to work faster on XP

I have an Intel Celeron(P) 325 2.56-GHz, with a 40-GHz hard drive, 248
MB of RAM (8 MB is diverted to video memory) system. I've had it for
over two years and it's outdated now. I can't afford a new computer or
any major upgrades. I want my computer to work faster. I use Windows
XP.
