| 756329 | 2009-03-14 11:55:00 | Thats probably WHY its slow, that chipset I had a sis-based P4 mobo. It lagged big time. With everything. Just opening programs, it took 10-15 secs to do anything. In the end, I biffed it, and replaced it with an Intel mobo. It made a BIG difference |

| 756330 | 2009-03-14 12:21:00 | PC isnt that slow. It just gets shadows/blurs in the graphics once in a while. Tried cleaning all the plugs etc, checking refresh rates but no change. Also tried different monitor. Partner is in the habit of having multiple windows open at same time (Graphics) and the program will crash when saving causing her to lose hours of work. I'm hoping that more power will help. I also have the same motherboard and my pc is very fast for a P4 but I have 2 gb ram and a geforce 7600gs card. Also keep my pc clean with regular maintenance:) |

| 756331 | 2009-03-14 12:32:00 | Has it been defragged?? Try Glary Utils (www.glaryutilities.com) the free version. Run it, do a scan, remove whatever. It'll remove invalid entries etc from the registry And get rid of temp files etc with ccleaner (http://www.ccleaner.com) It could be whats in startup. Post a hijackthis log. We'll see what we can remove from startup |
