582349	2007-08-18 04:57:00	People I have a customer who purcased a PC with the below specs Intel® Celeron® D processor 360 • 3.46 GHz, 512 KB Advanced Transfer Cache, 533 MHz Operating system installed Genuine Windows Vista™ Home Basic Chipset Intel® 945GC Express Chipset Standard memory 512 MB Memory type DDR2-SDRAM Memory slots 2 DIMM sockets It would be fair to say that it runs like a blind 3 legged dog. The customer only uses this for email and minor web searching as he is out in the sticks with access to dialup only. He has a faster PC for his business and data and keeps the new one just for web access. His previous pc (P3 600Meg), ran XPPro with 512meg RAM and ran appreciably faster. This PC takes a long time to boot and seems to responde slowly when changing web pages(dialup) ?although hiis old pc was nowhere near as slow. My only suggestion to him is to throw more memory at the PC. Does anyone else have any suggestions to motivate the PC to work faster?? Cheers HH	Happy Harry (321)

582351	2007-08-18 05:02:00	Only for emails and web than 512MB is good enough but it would be a good idea to put more RAM, put in another 512MB and make it 1GB. But if he is saying that surfing the net is slow than remind him that he is on dial up! Vista does need good hardware to run smoothly.	ronyville (10611)
582352	2007-08-18 05:20:00	As ronyville up the memory to 1 Gb or more, 512 even for Vista basic is the Minimum that MS advice, it'll run just wont win any races;) Looking at the spec's provided it is a budget PC. Graphics alone suck lots of power- even in Basic mode.	wainuitech (129)

582355	2007-08-18 06:23:00	Just add more ram and it will be fine.	LiquidSolidity (1589)
582356	2007-08-18 07:52:00	Is it a Dell? Uninstall Google Desktop search if it has it & that bloated anti-spyware program Dell bundles with their computers.	Greven (91)
582357	2007-08-18 08:38:00	I would say put 512MB more of RAM and if its a branded system, take out all the c*** they put on it. I took out almost 3GB of stuff from my new HP lappy.	beeswax34 (63)
582358	2007-08-18 08:50:00	Is it a Dell? Uninstall Google Desktop search if it has it & that bloated anti-spyware program Dell bundles with their computers. Yeah I wonder how much Google Paid Dell to install that crap. The built in search in Vista is far better.	wainuitech (129)
