January 8, 200719 yr Jamie hi (and i dont no what this meens but should my computer be so slow with these urmm system things) ?so its got this spec.... mircrosoft wondows xp professional version 5.1.260 service pack 2 bulid 2600 processor x86 family 6 model 3 stepping 1 authenticAMD ~807 mhz total physical memory 128.00MB avalable physical memory 18.47MB total virtual memory 2.00 GB avalable virtual memory 1.96 GB page file space 307.41 MB and a AMD Duron prosessor 807 MHz 128Mb of RAM a couple of things stand-out, there isn't much physical memory in the machine, only 128Mb, most machines now will have 5-10 times that, so this will mean that some programs / websites will take a long time to load. You could increase the virtual memory, but this will still be slow. The machine is quite old, the XP operating system could have lots of things slowing it down (like my mother-in-laws) and the speed sites load at could be more down to your internet connectivity, but it might be time for the upgrade
January 8, 200719 yr Hi Jamie Your system specification is the bare minimum to run Windows XP. And to be honest as you have found it does not run it very well. When XP came out I read an article in PCFORMAT that the most minimum specification they would run XP on was 1.2 GHz and 512mb of ram. If you do not want to spend a lot of money I would do a reformat and downgrade to 2000 or ME. That
January 8, 200719 yr Much as the Speed of the Processor seems slow the real problem here is the Memory. You need at least 256MB and should have 512MB to run XP properly. Once you have done that you will see a great improvement in the performance. If the PC can run DDR RAM then try getting some as that is better than the SDRAM I think you are using. Processor speed is always seen as the bottle neck but I've seen XP run very well on 750Mhz Laptops so I don't see the Processor being the problem. Edited January 8, 200719 yr by Telecat
January 8, 200719 yr Author the avalable physical memory seems really low compared to what its acctual memory is yet i only have bt yahoo broad band (1.1Mb) and msn (msn is an extramly small program )installed on this computer no games no pics no saved word docs ect
January 8, 200719 yr so what could be taking up all that space ? not your ******* brain cells that's for sure.

January 8, 200719 yr It's probably not the spell check or dictionary causing the problems but I could be wrong.
January 8, 200719 yr Upgrade to Vista with the aero interface hehehe... Taking up the space is probably spyware and adware etc. form lookin' at too much porn, perhaps not though.
January 8, 200719 yr Author dont get what your all laughing at and add were and spy were thers none did a check before i posted this and it was empty

Wouldn't surprise me if your PC was rootkitted.
January 8, 200719 yr You lot should be ashamed of yourselves. It's that Perce bloke. Perce - go sit on the naughty step and don't come down till Nora says so.
