Configuring solidworks to run on an older computer

I run solidworks on an older computer. It laggs quite often and I was wondering if there is something I can do to make it run faster or does the programm configurate itself for the best performance?

There are a few ways to make sure your computer runs faster -
1) add more memory
2) increase virtual memory size
3) close down firefox and IE while working - they suck up alot of memory
4) if all else fails, turn down the picture quality by half - makes the whole system work alot faster

Also kill all virus, mallware, spam protection. I try it, I runnig SW 2006 on compaq notebook (1996 year)with 36MB of ram an hard disc with 320 GB. XP professional.
