Get a new one

The Pentium D was just two Pentium 4s sandwiched together, so you get the crap performance of the P4 X2. More RAM would also help for some things. And upgrading to SP3 would help in the effort to keep malware off your system. It may not speed things up per se, but it will help you keep performance steady.
yes, but

And star clicking all the process that you are not running . But leave the things that are being run by the system. and delete the temp files every time you start your system there are lots of them, they help to loosen your load a bit.
