I switched from IE7 to 8 recently. Computer was slow. Bumped up RAM
to 2 GB, and hooey, what a difference. You might look at yours and
consider this inexpensive easy fix.

The other thing worth doing (and it's free) is to see how many
applications are starting up every time you turn the PC on.
They all want to use some of your RAM even though you might not need
them running every time.

Some common items are Adobe Reader and Microsoft Office. There are
others.

Yes. The Windoze Task Manager comes in quite handy here.


Hi,
Get rid of all the garbages piled up on the system over time. Keep the
registry clean or modifiy it to your needs. Fine tune your system for
what you mostly do with your system. 32 bit OS has max addressing for
memory at 3 GB. If needed go 64 bit or Linux.
