| 435933 | 2006-03-06 04:21:00 | I have a HP Pavilion 8835 Celeron 766Mhz CPU 128Mb RAM 20.4Gb Hard Drive Which I use in my garage mainly for music online or as a jukebox, my problem is its sooooooo slow and it keeps purring away all the time. I was advised that adding another 128mb SD Ram might speed it up as it takes forever to boot up etc. I'm using XP Pro or is it a hard drive problem? |

| 435934 | 2006-03-06 04:35:00 | um actually..uninstall windows xp and use windows 98 instead if all u do is listen to music. that should help. | jason_f90 (3544) | ||
| 435935 | 2006-03-06 04:50:00 | I'd say use 2000 if you can get your hands on a copy. its better than 98 & not much slower | Greven (91) | ||

| 435937 | 2006-03-06 05:11:00 | 128 meg of ram and running XP, yep it will be slow. reguardless of OS install more ram. 98 is a leaner OS but even then 128 is fairly minimal. | tweak'e (69) | ||
| 435938 | 2006-03-06 06:52:00 | lol 98 was designed to run on 32mb easily so 128 will rock......however winXP is badly slow on 128 it's minimal........ | drcspy (146) | ||
| 435939 | 2006-03-06 07:37:00 | lol 98 was designed to run on 32mb easily yeah right ! 98 requires MINIMUM of 32 meg to run. the old optimium ram size used to be 196meg, however with cheap ram these days 256meg is a good size. i'm starting to show may age.......;) |
