Upgrade from 128 to 1 or 2 gigs of ram if you can. If not then at least to the max that your motherboard will handle. You'll be amazed. There's nothing wrong with your computer except that the amount of RAM in it is up to the specs of 1997. Add more RAM and you'll be good to go. If you aren't sure what you need, we can probably give you the specs if you get us more info about the model of computer and/or model of motherboard. Adding ram is really easy.


If nothing else, a few months back I bought a refurbished Dell for $300 that'll run circles around yours. My $300 PC came with a 2.2GHz core 2 duo with 4 Gigs of RAM and 500Gigs of HD space.

Years ago, I had a computer with 16 megs of ram. It took about a minute and a half to boot up from hitting the power button until I could start clicking on things. I upgraded from 16 to 64 and the boot time went down to 20 seconds.
