This 'puter was running like garbage for a while. I took it in, got the harddrive cleaned (no spyware problems or anything), and added another stick
of 256. It brought me up to 512mb. When I am not online, it runs fine, but when Im on the net, it maxes out the memory and brings the system to her
knees.
Currently I am downloading a song from bearshare, and I can barely type. Any ideas? An 8mb file with 444 hosts is taking about 5 minutes. I have dsl.
We got a new modem a couple of days ago. It was doing this before the modem, and its the reason I took it in to get the HD cleaned.
If Im just on ATS it seems ok, but if I try to watch a movie or anything, it maxes out and lags.
