Trash Talk - I h8 my comp atm :/

Post subject: I h8 my comp atm :/

well this is not all the time but I can't play 'memory-sucking'games like Civilization 3 and so on to give you a view about what kind of games I mean.

it's sometimes at low memory, meaning I can have like one program open, unless it will look like shit
or, it's slow as hell but I can have a bit more programs open.

I have 128Mb RAM

I know that ur first thing u say/think is to buy a new comp, but I don't have that much money and I don't want to buy a new comp yet either, I think I rather want to get it working like it should.. I have played these games before, without any problems.

I guess i might have to format my comp too, but then I lose all my files and so (yea I know u know that)...

I have ran both virus and spyware scans, I don't have any pay-antivirus, I have Avast! and one that is run from the internet (it atleast looked good, free and so on, removed some stuff...)

thx in advance

Yes, get rid of all files you don't need anymore. Go to Start -> Run.. -> msconfig

Go to startup, and disable most things apart from Microsoft system processes. This cuts startup times, and will probably stop most of them taking up anymore processes.

If in doubt, save everything important to a CD or floppy disk, and then reformat.

I'd do what newb said plus run a defrag on the drive and maybe upgrade to atleast 512 megs of ram.

I fixed all my lagging computer problems with 1280 megs of ram

Also look into a better graphics card if you dont already have a good one.

128mb is barely enough to run Win2k, get more memory.

I think I have like 512 so atleast upgrade to that. Im probably going to upgrade to 1mb hopfully.

well, to write some specifics of my computer

Windows Millenium
RAM: 128MB
HDD: 18,6GB
Integrated Graphicscard, Intel
CD driver with 48X max
no CD-burner

comp is about 5 year old

I'll try what you said newb, gonna edit my post after rebooted my comp.. thanks for your help so long

We know you're just posting those specs to look cool, 1st, but fine.

Heh, "DDR: 18,6GB", I doubt you have 18.6 GB DDR", you mean "HDD".

You just need ~ 512MB RAM and your computer will be fine for a while.

Defrag is pretty useless. I just do it for anal-retentiveness, but having a fragmented disc isn't going to cause the kinds of problems you're having, Ken.

Bak - Sat Sep 24, 2005 10:59 am
Post subject:

you sure? It sounds like he has trouble with more than one program open at a time (perhaps page faults are slowing the system down). Defragging would reduce pagefaults, and perhaps speed the system up.

18,6GB, that's my HDD. And it kinda worked, but comp is still a bit slow, good at times and I can have many programs open at the same time..
but I still think I will reformat my comp,
I don't have any super-important stuff on it.. I have some semi-important stuff but because I don't have a cd-burner I can't save it... Well I have a 128Mb Mp3-player..

Anyways, if I reformat my comp, I'd like to hear ur opinions of what is a good free antivirus (free stuff is usually not so good, I know)

Solo Ace - Sun Sep 25, 2005 5:01 pm
Post subject:

If he meant that, newb, it would've made even less sense.

He said he had 18.6 GB DDR, where DDR would be the RAM.
If he said he has 186GB DDR, it would even get harder to believe that.

He has 18.6 (most manufacturers would call this 20GB) GB of HDD.

In this country we use "1.000.000,00" where most of you would probably use "1,000,000.00" but it's not important enough in this thread to whine about it, Purge.

The class was pretty rough, I struggled to get the highest B (88) in the class since our tests didn't get curved. Waves and Quantum are ez, E&M is ridiculous. I hate the conceptual flux crap. So I took a lot of previous year's exams and they weren't THAT bad. My exam comes up, and Paper 1 is better than I expected. Paper 2 however was nothing like any of the practice exams I took, it was the hardest test I've ever taken. The first words to come out of our mouths when we walked out of the test that afternoon were "WHAT THE F WAS THAT?!". Paper 3 I picked Relativity (ez, learned it two days out of class and recommend you do the same) and Optics (not as ez, but not bad). I ended up getting a 5 and placing out of 2 semesters of physics here.
