The existing computer is as follows: So if anyone reading this could spare some old parts that are better than the above (its not hard to beat tbh) then could you either post here, pm me or hit me up on xfire for a chat. Thanks, Sitting- xD Awards

The computer itself doesnt actually have to be that good as none of the programs run on it are that much of a resource hog.. just its got to the point now where it takes 10 mins to load the PC.. 5 to load a program and when you click it lags.

Yours if you can get a cpu to go with it. Would imagine postage to be between 5 to 10 quid. Paul. Edit to add - This is the little one http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_775/P5VD2VM/

A friend of mines laptop was running dirt slow , I took a look at it for him. It took like 5 mins to get windows vista up then proberly 30 seconds everytime you wanted to open something. I checked in the task manager and it was using like 95% of its ram just on tickover. As soon as you tried to open anything it would max out at 100% and then take forever to do anything. I suggested doubling the ram , he gave me the go ahead so I ordered some more , whacked it in and jeez what a difference. From pressing the on button it was surfing the net within 1 min! And programs opened within 1 to 2 seconds. You get what I am sayin. Just another option for you which might be easier. Obviously a fresh install would speed things up some more also. Paul.
