Why is my computer so slow?

Posted: 07-31-2004, 05:56 AM
I have Compaq Presario, AMD Athlon XP 2000+, speed 1665
MHz, RAM 128 MB, Hard disk memory 37.29 GB (used 9.23;
free 28.05).

My computer is kind of slow. I am not very good in
computers. How can I find out the problem?

Is 128 RAM too small? How can I get bigger RAM?

Thanks!

Alexandra, with only 128MB of Ram it will slow XP down. Get at least
another 256MB. Go here to find out
what kind of Ram you need. Crucial is a very good brand.

You can also check your system for virus, spyware, adware and
trojans. Use these websites

And finally have you defragged or did a chkdsk lately? Cleaned out
your system?
