My pc has 768 DDR2 , and I'm using Vegas 5.0 , but still - my preview window needs to be played at least 10 times to catch up and to stop freezing the image. It doesn't have problems with long clips though,but when clips on timeline are crossing/changing,my preview window freezes for few secs. I'm using 680 MB for video preview window,but it's still like that... It's probably because of footage,because I'm using DivX footage. (please don't gimme that crap about Huffyuv or Lagarith,because my HDD is too small for those things.)

Something else that may help is to turn off the Media Manager - I've never used it, at least, and I don't even know what it does. Since I figured out how to turn it off, Vegas boots faster and loads my projects faster, so you might wanna try it:
Options>Preferences>General>Uncheck "Enable Media Manager"
As Bashar said, try turning off unnecessary background programs. When you edit, just EDIT. don't surf the Internet, don't chat, just edit. That may help your speed a little.
I don't know that using a different codec would help all that much; you might as well convert some of the clips and see if it makes a difference.
If none of this really helps, and you still feel like you need Vegas to work faster, the only other thing I can recommend is to upgrade your RAM.

lagarith and huffy seem to work the best for me, and they are top notch quality currently, even if youre sick of hearing it, you cant help the "truth"
i got more lag when editing with vobs than i have with lagarith/huffy files...
also:
try this if clip lag is the problem

Don't forget that typical notebook PC hard drives are on the slower side. 4200 rpm is normal for the economy and power-efficient models, and 5400 rpm for the mainline and 'desktop replacement' units. 7200 rpm drives, which have equivalent speeds to the normal desktop HDDs, are only found in ultra high-end models (or sold and installed as replacements/upgrades) and are usually much more expensive.
This means that programs and files will take longer to load and save. And if Windows starts using virtual memory (page file) that will also have an impact since the page file is on your hard drive. And virtual memory is much slower than main memory (RAM). Having more RAM can improve performance and minimize the usage of virtual memory but it still won't do anything for save and load times.
