That's what I was thinking but I mean if he's asking about what's compatible with his computer, do you think he has the knowledge for building his own computer?

well we could provide him the list of the components, and he could take it from there, and have a shop build it for him. Same banana

if he wants to keep his current setup. I would suggest the following:
1.) Check for malwares/viruses. I can suggest using Nod32 Anti-Virus and Malwarebytes for cleaning malwares. 2.) Add more Ram 3.) Clean up unused programs that are just sitting on the harddrive. 4.) Clean up unused quickstart shortcuts, cause those slow down the startup of the computer as well. See if these help

well try to have a bunch quickstarts installed on your computer. By quickstarts I mean, programs that start automatically when you boot up your computer, such as YM, msn messenger, and programs similar to that. See if your start up doesn't slow down. I'm just speaking from experience thats all.

I dont think I need a new computer. Especially not a gaming computer. Plus Ive looked into them before. IIRC they were overpriced or had system issues; something that caused me to go with dell.

meh, i dont have the knowledge, time, or the interest. My next computer will probably be a Dell. I may pay more for the name and having it prebuilt, but the peace of mind and reliability will be worth it.

I really dont. My current system has treated me well. It just needs to be cleaned up and upgraded a little. 160GB of storage and 1GB of ram was more impressive in 2005, when I ordered it. |

1 GB of ram is plenty for XP unless you've added a bunch of demanding apps.
Has anybody suggested a defrag of your hard drive? Checking for viruses is definitely a good idea, those are a definite cause of many slow computers. Try out malwarebytes as well. It's very good at removing unwanted malware. |
