I am running xp Pro on a PC with an Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.53GHz, with a CPU speed of 2523MHz, and 1G of RAM. My hard drive is 300G and is still mostly free space. I use Zone Labs Security Suite, with anti-virus scanning daily. Spyware Doctor runs upon bootup, I regularly use Spybot Search & Destroy and 
AdAware for spyware, CC cleaner for "tuneups", and Auslogics for disk and reg. defrag. Still, though, my PC can be terribly slow too much of the time. More often than not, when it's slow, the Task Manager shows 100% CPU usage. Nevertheless, I'm wondering if adding 1G of RAM could help. A computer savvy friend says that with my CPU, more RAM will not help. The service dept. at 2 Fry's stores said that was not true. Any educated guesses as to how good the chances are that an extra G of RAM would help my PC's speed? Thanks very much in advance for any assistance.
