    Problems playing video's/computer slow
    « on: April 02, 2008, 11:48:00 AM »
    Hello,

    My original problem occured when putting my music collection onto my (30G) desktop... I basically ran out of memory! 

    This made the computer run very slowly, so I bought an External Hardrive (500G) to solve the issue.  I moved all the audio files onto the external hardrive and they are now fine, though when I connected to the Internet the computer was still very slow and it wasnt long till I had the trusty "Virtual Memory Low" message.  General uploading was slow and when playing any video clips, they play only fragments (i.e it "jumps" and "freezes" through the footage...) 

    Turns out I only had 128MB of RAM, so I bought 512MB RAM to solve the issue.  Computer runs well now but video's still jump through the footage and freezes alot... 

    Is this an issue with the video card?  Is the only way to ensure footage runs smoothly to buy a new video card?  I know the computer was pretty basic when I got it 6 years ago and its a "Tiny" Desktop

    Under "Systems" it currently says I have;
    Intel Celeron Processor
    1.00GHz, 504MB of RAM


    Can anyone offer any help/advise?
