Yes the laptop has allways ran slow. I found that the laptop can handle 2GB of ram. When I bought it it came with 512MB of ram. I then check the computer system and it showed something like 488 MB of loaded in the laptop. That means that the laptop was running at less than 1/4 of its capacity. So I chunked the old "512MB" card and installed 2 cards at 1GB each which brought the memory up to its max. The laptop seems to be working up to speed now. Before I would have to click on Desk top icons 2-3-4 times to get it going. Then I loaded a program for my blackberry and that just killed everything. Thanks for all the help! If you guys can give some other tips on keeping things up to speed post them, thanks For those that want to know 512mb of ram plus 512mb of ram equals 1GB.Last edited by BigTruckDriver; 08-07-2008 at 04:09 PM.

Right after I posted yesterday it was down again, I don't think it's getting better.
