(a720n) and it's slow as hell. Is it because I have too much on it? I deleted ALL of my music (abouyt 50 gb worth!) and it's still slow! What will help?

Replies Dylan6405 Posted at 1:53 pm on May 5, 2008 download CleanUP! for windows, run that, and see if it helps drifting Posted at 9:14 pm on May 3, 2008 Despite what alot of people think, hard drive space has very little to do with the speed of your PC. You need to buy more RAM, get a new processor, or (for gaming) get a new graphics card. Those are the things you will actually see a difference in performance with. rand0mguy Posted at 10:12 pm on April 30, 2008 Quote: from ocdbabe at 4:06 pm on April 30, 2008 Quote: from D Train at 4:01 pm on April 30, 2008 You'll need to delete alot of virtual memory then. ...and how do i do that? empty recycle bin =]? virtual memory is found in the system properties dialog box under the advanced tab ( control panel > system> advanced > virtual memory. but it is only necessary to do this if you have a low disk space,if you have enough disk space sometimes increasing this can help free up ram. it sometimes does help to run disk cleanup which is in start> all programs> accessories> system tools > disk cleanup and select all the options that apply also defragmenting your drive sometimes does help. so try that which is in the same place as disk cleanup. Also sometimes you can get rid of some of those subtle little things that are made to make windows look better, but sometimes suck up your system resources in control panel> system> advanced> performance and un-tick some of these options you think are unnecessary. also in the system properties dialog box under the advanced tab under processor scheduling and memory usage click the option that you think best fits you. If none of this works maybe you should consider getting some more RAM, which shouldn't be too expensive if your computer is from 2004. Hope this helps, any other problems just PM me ocdbabe Posted at 4:06 pm on April 30, 2008 Quote: from D Train at 4:01 pm on April 30, 2008 You'll need to delete alot of virtual memory then. ...and how do i do that? empty recycle bin =]?

Darkane Posted at 4:00 pm on April 30, 2008 Try defragmenting your harddrive, it should be under accessories or system tools. elementality09 Posted at 4:00 pm on April 30, 2008 how old is it?
