Hi all,
I dont have the oldest laptop on the shelf (2 years) but im only using 1/4 of my hard drive and have it regularly cleaned to ensure optimal performance (and this means weekly updated virus/spyware scan, cleaning temp internet folder daily, emptying the 'prefetch' folder, scandisking every month and defraging every couple of weeks).
My processor is Centrino 1.7GHz with 512MB.
What else can i do speed up this laptop?
It is fast when windows is freshly installed but why does it slow so much when its just 1/4 full? I have no memory demanding applications apart from firefox (25mb) explorer (23 MB) and svchost (21MB).
