Title: Ram Dieing?
Post by: 49 M on April 17, 2009, 08:06:43 AM

My computer is a little old and slow(like me lol), but lately it's getting annoying. I can view text pages like those here just fine, but if the page has large pictures it slows down. If I go to ebay (or another site with pic's) each time I click on an item to view it gets slower. After I view 3 or 4 items it gets so slow that I have to get offline and restart. Disk cleanup doesn't help unless I restart. Any idea's?

If you have a dial up Internet, that is about what to expect.
If you like to have a better computr, but don't want to pay a lot of money, here is an idea.
Right now it is a buyers market for Refurbished Band Name computers.
For example: Dell OptiPlex Desktops

Just search on Google for Used PCs and find lots of bargains. Important, find a dealer with a god reputation and who offers a warranty.

I got one and am very happy with it. Just 'casue I am 70, my computer does not have to be so old!
