And the CPU is? This is of course often a bottleneck on a 7 year old
computer but not always so.

My computer is almost 7 years old. During that time I've added memory
(the most it takes is 1 GB of RAM), replaced the original hard disk
(after it failed), added a second hard disk, and replaced the CD drive
with a DVD drive. Otherwise, it's the way I got it 7 years ago.

I have recently changed from drinking tea in preference to coffee. I
discovered it reduced the need to take comfort breaks. However, my
taste for tea is not a sophisticated one.

I work from home and much of my work centres around my computer so I
housekeep at regular intervals. Housekeeping does make a noticeable
difference on my computer, although the improvement does not last
overlong. Recently a work colleague at the company's offices twice
got a nasty malware infestation. The computer in question is a
little dated so the CPU processor is slow. Running Spybot S & D took
a long time when I wanted to go home. Had I run Disk CleanUp the
time saving would have been a lot more than one minute. I ran Spybot
S & D several times because certain malware kept reappearing.
I wish I had thought to run Disk CleanUp before running the
anti-virus software and Spybot. You should not assume that all
computers have as good a specification as your own. Some people run
chkdsk for 24 hours before the scan completes.
