Hi, My Father just got a new computer for home so he could surf the net and email etc... When I set it up for him I relized it was going quite slow. The specs on the somputer are:
AMD athlon 64 processor 3800+
Memory 512
120g hard drive
Nivida Geforce 6150 SE
&
It came with Windows Vista...
(Yes its not a great comp but **** he doesn't do much with it)
Anyways the first thing that came to mind was windows vista was lagging the crap out of it since the computer isn't all that great, Any ideas? Now I'm not planning on buying more RAM or anything so that's out of the question so I was wondering if there is an easy way to fix it and if not im thinking of just installing XP on it because a new computer shouldn't lag like this its horrible.
Stupid companies put vista on these **** comps I don't know why. I told him I would build him one but he said he didn't want to trouble me so w/e. Any help would be great, Thanks!
