How can I make my computer run smoother and faster?

Question

I don't know what my video card is but I can tell you else is in my system.


OS:Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition SP2
RAM:256
Processor:Intel Celeron 1.70gHz
HD:52.9 Gigs

I already changed the performance in the System Properties in the Advance tab to Adjust to best performance. I'm thinking about getting a 512 Ram card built just for this motherboard.The motherboard can hold up to 1 gig of RAM. Its by Dell. The Dimension 2350 model.

Answer 1

The first thing would be to run complete virus, adware and spyware scans to eliminate any stuff that might be slowing you down. Ad-Aware and Spybot Search & Destroy are both free programs, available at http://www.download.com

Adding more memory would make the system a bit faster, but that's about all you can do, hardware-wise. If you can add 512mb to your existing 256mb, things will run noticeably more quickly.

Unfortunately, your Celeron CPU is several years old and just isn't a speedy chip by today's standards, so gains will be limited.

Answer 2

Well on this case attempt to again up your whole records (on an outside rough force, flash force, cd's, and so on). Next restart your running approach via urgent both F10 or F11 (relying for your laptop's healing disk). If you dont have that then insert the Operating approach Disk to put in. If you desire higher efficiency purchase extra RAM, I propose a minimum of 1GB (for todays jogging programs). Just be careful which sort of RAM your motherboard has (both DDR or DDR2). That will have to do it.. I warranty it :)

Get the 512Mb Ram upgrade...If they offer a processor...you might look into that also....DO NOT BUY FROM THEM...it will cost a small fortune. once you know what the parts are...go to newegg.com get parts there..way cheaper.
