Ouch, WinXP requires a minimum of 128 mb RAM. And even with 128 XP will run slow. For a decent running XP 256 to 512 MB is needed.

XP will run slow with 64 MB of RAM. Best to get at least 512. I would suggest just getting a new computer. They are so cheap nowadays.

Yikes! Windows XP is what's killing it.. .. Mostly.
Windows is very much a ram-hog, XP especialy, and severely not meant for that system. Honestly, i'd recommend installing Linux, preferably Ubuntu. But, i'm sure an older version of Windows would do it. However, removing XP with be a wonderful start.
beatiful mind
there are lots of reason but in your case
first you can buy other 64 mb ram i think it not possible to get new one so go to buy one 128 mb ram and remove old ram and install the new one and install the xp again.
you must use good antivirus software bls. a virus also ,make your pc slow
