OH and a text file takes less than a second to save, just everything else is slooooooower than when i bought it with 256MB RAM aidanmaz (7180)
695427 2008-08-08 04:53:00 Are you running off battery? If so, try running off the power as low voltage can produce the phenomena you report. PENTIUM (426)

Try uninstalling/reinstalling Skype; are you using any P2P/Torrent programs?

695433 2008-08-08 10:02:00 Was I correct in reading that you have only 504 MB RAM? That hardly seems enough to run Win XP, let alone all the other stuff. lakewoodlady (103)
695434 2008-08-08 11:19:00 ran perfect in the past, i dont really use it much except for email, work, instant messaging and net. 504 is fine. i usually hav 128mb free even when im using all my programs. Uninstalled skype and reinstalled, No im not using any other p2p. aidanmaz (7180)
