My computer is running a bit slow. Anyone know a way to improve it?

Answer 1

this depends on the spec of the pc and what you already have in it
if you "right click" mouse on my computer and go to "properties"
left click that
that will tell you how fast you pc is

if you take a note of the bottom part "computer"
you could put that on here or as a new question asking "should i upgrade" or "is my pc fast enuff"

and you will have at least the prosessor (cpu)
and how much ram (internal memory)
as you can understand untill i/we(yahoo) know what you have first, cant really tell you how to make it go much faster

hope this helps
