well i guess il start off by saying im new to the forums so hello everyone. And i was wondering if i can get anymore speed out of my system at all. specs are........
AMD Athlon 64 3400
MSI K8N Neo platinum
Crucial Ballistics 512mb stick
ATI Radeon 9600 pro
I have my bio's all updated and drivers all updated and my system still seems to slow for what i got. I mean starting up windows and loading all the startup programs takes like 2 minutes before i get normal speed without that lag type effect. After exiting games it takes several minutes before i can do simple stuff like opening the programs menu or even restarting my system to renew all the memory settings.
Lately ive been tinkering around in the bio's trying to increase my cpu fsb and i dont notice any difference in speed. My system is reliable tho and never crashes, freezes or anything, it just seems underpowered. I am going to be picking up another stick of 512 and a radeon x800 all in wonder so im hoping i can see some more performance soon. But in the mean time is there anything else i can tell ya about my system to help get more out of my computer now? I dont think it should take 2 minutes for all the startup programs to start before my computer gets rid of that laggy feeling. Can anyone possibly help me?
