If it still feels like cack, format reinstall windows :thumbs: [Edited on 28-02-2005 by Dom] | |

at the cost or memory nowadays i'd go for 1Gb or 512mb minimum. That should see a big improvement. | |

Well they sorta do, as applications get more resource dependant, your PC is in effect slowing down. | |

Try www.download.com And Look for a Program Called SI Software Sandra. This tells you loads of stuff about your PC. Exact Spec CPU Temp, Case Temp etc providing your Computer has the sensors. :) | |

get more ram definately, 256mb will be limiting it. Also run adaware to make sure its spyware free! | |

Corsair, Kingston, Geil or OCZ are probably the best, but only worth getting if your overclocking, Crucial is good stable stuff for not overclocking. | |
