    Think you need to rethink this, as GunJack says 1GB ram is sufficient, especially considering your processor.

    40GB with 10GB free should be OK with XP, it's when it gets to 85% full you start to run into problems when trying to defragment.
    What's on the larger drive?
    Shift data (music,photos) rather than trying to shift programs.
    Move along, nothing to see.
