What is the best thing to do to speed up my computer? Where do I start? What can I buy?

Question

I just want the computer to work faster because it is so slow at the moment.

Answer 1

Would need to know more specifics.  How fast is it now?

Buy more memory.

Clean the junk off your hard drive. Do a disk defrag.

Answer 2

That question is best asked with more info about the computer,

Like the CPU size in Ghz, and the FSB speed, how much running memory you have installed,

A good free fix is to empty the recycle bin then run the disc clean up program then do a defrag, And it wont hurt to clear the prefetch too..

You will find the clean up program on your hard drives propeties(righ click on your hard drive in my computer).

And prefetch is C:WINDOWS\Prefetch

Answer 3

Answer 5

There it is a thing call backups, where you make copies of good stuff, then every 6 months you reinstall Windows, because come to a stall regardless if you have virus or not.

And if you Exorcist it every 2 weeks, by cleanign all the garbages,disable systemrestore, and virtualmemory, then run your antivirus in safe mode,defragment,scandisk/all you maybe have a good 6 months.
