We have a 3.2 hz 775 processor on a Abit AV8 mobo with 1 Gb ram, an ATI 9200SE Graphics card, 3 Hard drives and 2 DVD rewiters. C drive is for non working Windows ME, D is for Windows XP (system) and E partitioned 4 ways for all other files. We have a 1 M broadband through Wanadoo. The machine is very slow, as in it sometimes takes 20+ secs to switch users. Downloads from the internet seem very fast but displaying them on screen can take 10 or 15 secs. Writing cd's set at 32X actually writes at 6X. Generally we are not impressed. I thought it would be the bees knees, well,, apart from the graphics card. There appears to be no virus;s or malaware on the system thanks to: Trend internet security 2005, Trends housecall (over internet pc check), spybot search and destroy and adaware. Can anyone help!!!!!!!!!
