My Windows computer seems to just get slowere and slower. What can I do to speed it up?
By far the largest culprits for hogging Windows resources and slowing your computer down are the Norton and Symantec Security Suites. We suggest removing them completely and trying Avast Antivirus, which can be found in the links of our FREE STUFF page on this site.
The second most prevalant factor in Windows slowness would be not having enough RAM memory installed. Windows requires at least 1 gigabyte of RAM to function optimally. You can use the free SIW program on our FREE STUFF page to easily measure your system RAM.
Is is more cost effective to buy a new computer or just upgrade my old one?
These days, it is almost always cheaper to just buy a new computer than to upgrade an old one to a better level of performance. The exception would be a single item or limited upgrade, like more RAM, larger hard disk or firewire card for added capability.
The best bargains for upgrades are actually refurbished computers from major manufacturers.
