try upgrading your memory as u don't have enough, also amd duron processors are only 
half a processor try putting a full amd athlon in, also check your harddrive space 
and make sure your not infringing on your pagefile. amd duron processors will fail 
to perform when multitasking full athlon won't. way to check what size your pagefile 
is right click mycomputer , properties, advanced,advanced, you'll find out how big 
your pagefile is at bottom, do not change. check harddrive space to see if free space 
is lower than that amount. but i'll lay odds on it being your ram u only have 256, 
try just over a gig and u won't have a problem except a slow processor
