Currently, im running a AMD 2800+M overclocked to 2.09ghz, 1.00gig PC3200 ram, geforce6600gt 128mb, all on a A7N8Xe-deluxe motherboard with XP SP2. Im not short of harddrive space, i have one 40gig with windows on it, 14gigs free, one 250gig, with 144 gigs free, and one SATA 80 gig with 62 gigs free. The PC used to run fast as hell, i havent used it in about a year, pull it out, plugged it up, got some compressed air and cleaned out the case and everything but its still not where it used to be. Is there anything i could do short of getting a new desktop that would speed up the startup time, load programs, web surfing, etc…? I was thinking about buying some new pc3200 ram, a 1 gig stick but the two 512s are dual channeled right now, i dont know if that would have a significant effect on the startup time and etc…
Thanks,
