i have a crappy computer and I wanted to know ho i could get it to run faster. It's a compaq presario sr1500 with only an amd sempron 3000 processor, 80gb 7200rpm hard drive, and only 512mb of ram so i thought if i upgraded that to like 1 gb it would help because right now it is running like crap. please help
 
reinstalling windows WOULD help but make sure you back up all of your files, drivers, etc. (duh, you prob. already knew that!)
 
Don't have to back up the drivers. With a brand-name computer it usually has all the drivers on disks for you. . .
 
i dont think i want to reinstall windows because im afraid i would do something wrong, is there anything else i can do ?
 
^^dude as above , reformat , with restore disks you cant go wrong . then after this install antivirus and firewall so you dont get any more viruse's ectc , and by the way upgrading to 1GB ram would be good but windows xp should run fine on 512MB for simple web surfing and word processing
