SLOW PC ... WHY ??????

usually its actually not about hardware most of the time.

you need to activily defrag, uninstall and delete all the crap you dont need or want. install AVG, have a registry checker and try and keep stuff on your desktop to a minimum.

although hardware is quite important, you have to relise people have no patience with computers anymore. for example you load a program that takes a lot of processing and ram. you think it takes 1 min when i actually takes 20. you need to understand that you should take a break, not expect it to pop up instantly. itunes is a prime example.

keep your computer cool. put more fans in or water cooling if you can afford it. dont stuff it under a desk. this is the main reason PCs go slow as a hotter CPU and graphics card will go slower than one a bit below room temp.

also, dont say 'buy a mac'. its bollocks. i use both. my computer runs fine on xp pro. if i installed OSX it would make no difference to the speed of loading and running tasks as its the same goddam hardware in my tower. also, with macs you pay for the brand. its easier for me to buy all the poarts and a tower and just install windows AND osx rather than buy a apple laptop for the same specs.

use some common sense.
