Computer cleaning.

[quote=anth.payne;392590]Ok - you definately need some RAM, your a bit on the low side[/quote]

What? Just buy a card & plug it in?

Cheers

Just run that CC cleaner.

426mb of files removed.

+ 1 for C Cleaner. I run mine about once a month and clean up the temp int files and also my registry.

Works for me :)

Startup screen shots.

Hope it works!

Yep pretty much! It's dead easy putting in Ram - and you can't insert it wrong...

But you do need to know what speed it that you have/your mobo is compatible with. I used to use a good website that will tell you exactly what you need - let me find it again.

(Unless you wanted to open your PC up - but it doesnt always say on the stick)

To check what memory is compatible go to [url=http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/drammemory.aspx]SDRAM, DDR2 and DDR RAM memory upgrades from Crucial.com[/url]

and click scan system. this should tell you what you can use.

[David Drew]

This is the result of the scan

[B]Maximum Memory Capacity:[/B] 4096MB
[B]Currently Installed Memory:[/B] 512MB
[B]Available Memory Slots:[/B] 3
[B]Total Memory Slots:[/B] 4
[B]Dual Channel Support:[/B] Yes
[B]CPU Manufacturer:[/B] AuthenticAMD
[B]CPU Family:[/B] AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3500+ Model 15, Stepping 2
[B]CPU Speed:[/B] 2204 MHz
<LI class="red largeread sfhover">Although the memory can be installed one module at a time, the best performance comes from using matched pairs of modules.

CCleaner is a top program, also david get rid of those toolbars in Internet explorer there no good and just bloat and advertise. If you use them then thats fair enough :).

[anth.payne]

Did it indicate the speed of the memory? like 667MHz or a number like 3200 or 6400 etc?

Done. All except the command bar. Use that to print etc.

Hi David,

I'm Gavin, Pitman's son. More RAM should definitely help matters, as 512MB now days is a really small amount. I also recommend replacing McAfee with Microsoft security essentials as Satch mentioned. Most of the "security suites" like McAfee or Symantec use so much resources they borderline being called Virus's themselves!
