I have tried everything, from defragmenting the HD to "cleaning" the
registry to even defragmenting the registry, and it's STILL so slow.
Software wise, I don't use too many. Just the typical office thingy,
that's all.

You better use linux. Never had these problems with Debian.
Yeah... you won't have that problem, but you will have lots of other problems with Linux. I call my Linux machines as glorified PDAs. All you can do is basic computer tasks and that is all. Even OpenOffice is completely useless to me since it can't even convert case to title or sentence case, which I use all of the time.
