Hello,
I didnt have a working pc so my friend gave me this old base unit. Its not one of the tall ones its one of the ones you stand your monitor on.
Well i turned it on and it said windows xp. It had the usual icons on the desktop such as
internet explorer, microsoft mail, my computer etc....
Well the first thing i have installed is windows live so i can have msn.
Problem is this pc is so ssslllllooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwww!
It takes 10mins to load up before i can use msn & internet.
I havent got a clue what memory it is.
I looked at the black loading up screen and from that this is the info I know:
Windows xp
Inter processor 4
1.4ghz (100 x 14.0)
256 cache memory
The graphics is: Rage Fury Pro/xpert 2000 (microsoft corporation)
Can anyone give me some advice?
How rubbish is it? Why is it so slow?
Any advice is welcome (please bare in mind im a complete omputer novice)
Thanks
