It's symptomatic of age. It's not a hardware issue as that will still be performing just as well, it's to do with the useless files that build up over time that still get loaded into memory taking up valuable resources.
Adding more RAM will help but that's the same as buying a new garage to help with the useless clutter that accumaltes over time. A much better approach is to back up any personal files that you have and to completely format and re-install a fresh Windows.
I do this approx once every year or so and you'll be stunned at how quickly everything loads! The only big resource drain will be anti-virus software...it's the bain of any PC and saps CPU time and memory. You could choose to turn off the real-time scanning and stop it loading up at the beginning and simply perform a scan manually every month to ensure you have no nasties.
Enjoy
