Windows 7 64bit running so slow.
I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop A500. It comes with the option for either x64/x86 and I reformatted hard drive just yesterday. I chose to use x64 because of the 3GB RAM restriction using x86.
It takes a long time to boot up. I've disabled as many programs as I can to start-up with Windows. Don't have an anti-virus program as yet, and I'm using the default Windows 7 Firewall.
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 2200MHz.
RAM: 4GB DDR2 399MHz
GPU: 1GB DDR3 500MHz
500GB Sata Hard Drive.
Any tips on making it run any quicker?
Also, what would be the best anti-virus to use?
