Re: sloooooow computer

Thanks Ken, JS and Bob,
I think I will go with 512 due to the fact that I do use Photoshop CS and
work with lots of big projects frequently. I thought it might be memory but
wasn't really sure. Will install more and hopefully, the slooooow will cease.
Will let you all know.
Again, thanks for all your input.

It would appear that the primary reason is the minimal amount of RAM
installed is 128 MB and that is shared with the video compounding the
problem. Consider increasing it to 512 MB.

I have a Durand processor running win xp. I am hooked to the internet by a
hub in my building, (DSL I think). There are 2 other computers hooked into
the same hub and they are running fine. My problem is the computer at my
desk, for some reason it reboots several times before actually letting me
on
and then to wait for something to open, be it a program or the internet, I
am
taking a nap it is so slow. I have defragged, disk checked, ran numerous
virus scans, and even bought a registry clean up tool and ran that.
Nothing
seems to work to get this computer working like it should. It originally
ran
great. Any suggestions as to how to go about fixing this problem? It is
really frustrating. Would installing more memory help?? Not really sure
how
much I have now but I can't think of anything else to do.
