I have a Dell Inspiron 531s(slim) and am looking to make it better/faster. Any suggestions?

Question

I want better frame rate on games, i have a NVIDIA GeForce 6150 LE Integrated Graphics GPU for a graphics card. I also just want all around speed, I use Photoshop and Dreamweaver and some things just don't go very fast. My computer freezes about once a week, maybe a little less. Looking to stop that.

More specs:

2Gb RAM

Athlon 64 X2 3800+ (2.0GHz, 512Kx2)

Windows Vista Home Premium

Any programs I could buy/download or any other things that I could buy to help it run faster?

Answer 1

Not really sure on the size of that case since you mentioned it being slim, but a graphics card would probably be the answer to your needs.  An integrated graphics card is most likely bottle necking your computer.  Find an actual graphics card that can fit in your case and is compatible with your system and you should be good to go.
