   upgrading the ram is not always the answer because there are things to consider like money factors and other component’s performance (not only the ram). first look for things that are not necessary for windows to work. windows defender is a good tool to do this job. remove startup programs that are rarely used and freeup some disk space. always defragment your system at least 3 times a month or every other week. fragmented files also reduces performance because it takes more time to open up files.

   upgrades? you must consider the performance of your components other than the ram because if the components cant keep up with the ram, the ram upgrade will be useless. look for high clock speeds (RAM & processors), high capacity & high rpm’s (hard drives). your computer can only go as fast as your slowest component…

   i like to use a program called ccleaner, its free, fast and reliable. ccleaner searches you hard drive and find cookies and other spyware. this is like clearing your temp internet files and cookies but faster and more precise. on my first scan i got 1.32 gigabytes freed up

   Another way of speeding things up, is by cleaning your desktop with less icons. Shortcuts you don’t use often can be put into the recycling bin. Uninstalling unecessary "games" can also be helpful in speeding up your computer. If all else fails, do a virus scan, as a virus can also slow things down.

   I agree with Chubz. Increase your memory space.

    in XP do the following its not hard but may take time

    Slow computer IE freezes
    ==================
    Slowly tap the F8 key while the computer is powering up

    Just after Verifying DMI files occurs the F8 key will point the computer to a menu where safe mode can be selected.

    Note if you mistakenly tap F8 key again, it will continue through to normal boot

    Scroll and select safe mode with network

    Use explorer to delete the contents of the folder datastore.

    Datastore can be found in c:\windows\softwaredistribution.

    You may have to do this regularly when the computer slows.

    The folder rebuilds itself and the contents are to do with windows updates and logs for errors. There is no harm in deleting the contents.

    Reboot.

    Also
    In IE7 Advance Tab
    Click Restore defaults
    Tick empty temp files when browser closes (this empties the cache)
    Bullet disable phishing filter

    Delete all browsing history, cookies

    Then
    Do all this

    Clean Up Computer
    ===============
    Download and run superantispyware. I was put onto this program because of an annoying popup (XP)

    http://www.superantispyware.com
    Superantispyware is a good program and remember to update it before scanning. A scan may take 45mins.

    afterwards clean up the registry with this
    Clean up pc and IE
    ==============
    To clean up run this Microsoft’s windows live program. It does registry, spyware , virus , disk clean up and defrag

    it takes 2 hours or more so once it starts to scan (go to bed etc)

    XP Users http://onecare.live.com/site/en-ca/defau…

    Vista Users http://onecare.live.com/site/en-ca/cente…

    Run the full scanner, then at the end of the scan it asks you to set it running full time.

    Think twice about setting it to run in the background as it could be another thing to slow you down. However, it may be worth while if you have no other security programs running.

    Consider the following options:
    I personally run Norton 360 which is full internet security and run superantispyware when I want to.

    So if you don’t have a decent internet security program then perhaps run the superantispyware with your antivirus in the background.

    If you sick of antivirus programs that don’t work perhaps run onecare full time and run superantispyware whenever..

    Now you should be flying and Onecare has even set up a new system restore point for you.

    -set your visual settings on your PC to low
    -scan for bugs
    -press and hold " ctrl alt del " and check the system processor, and close what is not needed.
    -try making your virtual memory higher

    although i think RAM is the way to go 😉
