Slow CPU

[Dangerman3]

Is there any tell tail signs that your CPU is on the bad side of its life. i mean it takes me about 5 mins to open the internet and when closing it down i get a white screen for 2 mins then back to normal. Basically its slow as hell. i dont think its anything to do with what i got on my computer space wise. is there a program that could show me any thing thats wrong with it

oh btw its a P4 2.8 penryn.

i have a bad system really. the programs running are antivirus, firewall and the onboard sound thingie in the task bar (bottom right).

i have a 40GB HDD with 7.77 GBs left, 512mb of DDR2 memory.

i did a defragmentation last night as it happens but still the computer is slow.
I'll put it down to not enough memory i guess. it was running ok didnt have a problem opening stuff up until recently so i thought my cpu might be on the blow.
