Slow Compaq
Just got done working on a Compaq of the following description:
Compaq Evo D300 Desktop Series Evo D310v Model with Intel 845G Chipset 1.8-GHz with 400-MHz Front Side Bus Has 128-MB DDR Synch Dram PC2100 (266-MHz) Non ECC Operating system is XP-Pro. It was slow to start with. No updates had been done. I updated it to SP1 and installed the rest of the critical updates. Norton was up to date. I did a full system scan... it was clean. Found a moderate amount of adware and spyware and removed it all. Only 5 items checked in Msconfig... all normal stuff. Task Manager doesn't show anything unusual running. It is *still* slow. I have a 850 Mhz machine of my own (one I built) that will run circles around this one. Dunno why it shipped with only 128 Mb ram and I have ordered another 128 for it, but I don't really look for that to speed it up much. I didn't look in bios but these days there's not much you can change and I don't want to make it unstable. Is this just the nature of the beast? -- I child-proofed my house but they are still getting in. |
