    PC Pitstop is pretty good and free(!) on-line version.

    The best (and cheapest) way to tune up your PC is to get a 'geek' to do it for you, but if you dont know any, then id recommend the following programs, though they arent cheap:

    Norton Systemworks
    iolo System Mechanic


    Theres also a list of useful programs (based on windows xp) at tweakxp.com


    Hope this helps :)

    I'd recommend Norton Systemworks. Very good utility.

    Optimize XP - IMHO one of the best sites on the web for this sort of thing.
