Right click on My Computer / Select Properties / Advanced / Performance Settings / Advanced tab

Processor scheduling: Specifies how CPU time is divided between running processes.
  - Programs - more CPU time allocated to the foreground Application (Browsers, Games, Mail, Etc) - Recommended unless File / Network Server
  - Background services - divides CPU time equally between all running processes.

Memory usage:
  - System cache - On PCs with 256MBs or more installed, this should result in best system performance
  - Programs -  Result in best overall system performance if under 255 MBs of RAM

Click Ok & restart your PC for the changes to take effect.
