If you are not running thin clients, are your workstations powered by 
celeron processors? If so, the lack of cache memory will slow things 
down. More Ram will help some, ideally a minimum of 512MB per machine.

Run Task Manager (CTRL,ALT,DEL) and check what processes are being used, 
particularly the ones that seem to be using lots of memory. Copy the 
list and post it up if you don't know what everything is.

Are your workstations free of virii and spyware? If you are running a 
full suite of Norton Antivirus or similar products, you may find it is 
using a lot of your system resources. Try NOD32 instead.
