The easiest way would be to format the drive. If you want to leave the operating system intact but remove all personal data, then go in and uninstall all the programs you had installed through Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel. Once you've uninstalled everything, you can then track down your personal files and delete them. Check in places such as "My Documents" and "Documents and Settings", or anywhere else you may recall saving files. Do not just go in and delete everything but the Windows folder, as many files vital to the system, such as sound and video drivers, may be contained in folders other than c:\Windows

If you have a lot of icons on your desktop, your computer works harder to keep those all up and running. If you have a lot of songs that you have downloaded from a website or something and have them saved, you should try and filter out some things. Get ride of the programs that you don't use. Delete the files that you don't need anymore. Try not to run a lot of programs all at the same time....
When the CPU runs out of physical memory it uses page files on the hard drive?
Yes. The PageFile or SwapFile is a (hidden) file managed by Windows to store programs and files that can no longer remain in physical memory (RAM), because too many programs are already running in RAM. Windows essentially swaps programs between RAM and the SwapFile to keep itself and the other programs running.
