What to do if your computer is running slow

increase over your first run.

Those are the free methods. Now I will cover the costly methods.
The costly method pretty much makes you a whole new computer.
Start with buying a new mother board and processor, update to a more current processor and motherboard than the one you are currently using. In doing that buy the highest rated ram/memory for that motherboard. I would suggest you go right on ahead and buy the maximum of that motherboards capacity. Just top save yourself a trip to the electronics store in a week or two. Go ahead and buy the latest video card out that you can afford that fits your video slot.


ok I am just joking with that. Go get some ram for your current motherboard maybe upgrade the processor if it is within your budget, and upgrade the video card if that also is within your budget. Maybe grab a hard drive with a higher cache than what you have. Only upgrade the hard disk if you have a full operating system install disk, most pc manufacturers have partitions (sections) on your hard drive that have information that is needed during an operating system install, such as serial key and proof that you are who you say you are . Proof such as "dell user" or what ever manufacturer your computer is from.

Enjoy I am sure this will help at least one person.
