Maybe its too slow when you have ( insert browser name ) open and try to open any other program. There are a few reasons as to why its slow. The main reasons are usually because you have to many programs installed or maybe you dont have enough RAM.
  • If you think its because of programs you installed then Start > Control panel > Add or remove programs then just delete a few programs YOU installed.
  • However if its a RAM problem, You should check how much RAM you have. To do this you go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Information and there under time zone is Installed Physical memory(RAM) and then the amount.



    If its under than a gig its probably a good idea to get more RAM unless you use your computer for surfing the web and checking your email. However if you work with music or making home movies your definitely gonna need more RAM unless you can work with how slow the computer will be. To do that go to Computer Memory - 4 All Memory
    It will show you some types that can be bought and used on your exact computer.
    Now just go and compare prices. Id find what type of RAM it is and then check Newegg.com for it, Buy one or two and install it on your computer.
