Your PC is fine for Windows XP. While just using XP and its services, you really can't notice a difference from a 3 GHz PC and a 1 GHz PC. Games and other apps are different of course, but XP is really not a system hog compared to other programs. I've installed XP on a 133 MHz machine with 64 MB of RAM.
In visual effects, I always disable ALL performance effects except for "Show Windows contents while dragging" and "Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop." The rest DO make your computer slower. Disabling the rest of the stuff will improve performance.
