Well Im trying to make my computer run quicker, but my system is close to 6 years old. I just got a new computer, and I am trying to make this one last longer. Right now this is what I have:
- Intell Pentium III Processor
- 863 MHz, 384 MB RAM
- Windows XP Pro
I always do the basics such as:
- Virus Scan every week or so
- Use adaware every few days
- Disk Degrag every month or so
It runs good for its age, and just wondering about a memory upgrade. Im considering a 512MB of RAM or 1GB of RAM. Will I see a considerable difference between the two? I only use the computer for surfing the net, downloading music, and the odd game every once in awhile...I also need to buy a new hardrive. I have 19GB hardrive, but only 2.4GB remaining...WHat would be my best upgrade? I was looking at 80GB hardrive, and was wondering how long would this take to fill up? I only have a few games, lots of music, and photos.
I think thats it, but if anyone has any other ideas to boost performance please tell. Also Im not looking at any motherboards or video cards...Also Im looking at the best bang for the buck. Thanks, and sorry for the long long post.
Thanks again,
Cory
