Here\'s my current config --- what sucks?
My HP computer is painfully slow, despite the fact I bought it less than 8 months ago. Here are its specs -- I want suggestions on what I should upgrade to get noticeably improved performance:
HP Pavilion a710e customized PC – Microsoft(R) Windows(R) XP Home Edition with SP2 – AMD Athlon(TM) XP 3000+ operating at 2.16GHz – 256 MB DDR / PC2700 (1 DIMM) – FREE UPGRADE from 40GB to 80GB 7200 rpm Hard Drive – 48x max HP CD-Writer Drive (48x32x48x) – 3 USB 2.0, 1 Firewire, 9-in-1 card reader + WinDVD – Integrated Via UniChrome Graphics – Integrated 5.1 Capable Sound w/ front audio ports – HP Internet Keyboard, HP Scroller Mouse – Microsoft(R) Works 7.0/Money 2004/MSN Encarta Plus – hpshopping in-box envelope Obviously, I'm going to add another 512MB of RAM...will I notice improved performance right away solely from that? How about the AMD chip speed...I don't know much about the AMD Athlon(TM) XP 3000+ operating at 2.16GHz -- is that a decent chip, or a dinosaur? |
