My laptop which is 2-3 yrs old is getting pretty slow when it comes to running 3rd party programs and booting up.
The spec' is quiete low and the operating system is Win Xp Home (256mb ram and something like a 1.4mhz processor and 40gb Hard drive
I am under the impression that because the older Windows 2000 is LESS processor hungry it will actually make the computer run faster.
With a computer of my specification how much difference in speed should I see if I was to limit 3rd party programs too 1 or 2 and have either 2000 or XP.
I dont wish to upgrade any ram components or anything else. I don't want to have to spend any more money than necessary on it.
