If you are on the net and it is slow but not otherwise, then it is likely a simple case of not very good broadband connection. If you unplug from the internet and do various things and it is plenty fast enough, then that is an indication. If it takes ages to fire up, it might be because you have some program loading and making various diagnostic checks. There are various virus checkers that can do this when you fire up. They can go off and fetch various latest filters and bug swats from the virus checking software maker's servers. If you are going to spennd money on your machine, more RAM is the very first thing to get, it is rarely wasted dough. The other thing might be that your hard disk is getting too full and there is not enough room for caches and working space. Remember when you did maths at school, there would be a margin to do stuff in to work a few things out. The more margin the easier it was sometimes! You can check to see how full it is. You should always have lots of spare (at least 10%, I would guess) If it is gaming that you are concerned with, then I guess a video card is a critical factor after you have attended o my above points. I have to stop typing now because I can hear my enemies sneaking up for an attack on me. They do this here, be carefully Virginia. -- dorayme

Which reminds me that we can't know anything in the final analysis. -- Thank you and have a nice day.
