    How can I breath new life into my pc


    Hello Hello wonderful people I have a simple question. I have a really old dusty laptop that is my main pc I got 5 years ago and in about 7 months I will be upgrading to a possible macbook of my choice . But untill then I will have to deal with the maschine I currently have I am trying to make 3d animations and it is a pain on this machine my system specs are listed in my profile. What settings could I potentially tweak or retail parts could I purchase to make my slow pc run a little faster and survive till I get me my macbook thanks. Some of my main concerns is how slow programs open and how frequently unresponsive it is I understand that this is old hardware. But o well you do what you gotta do.

    The cpu is slowing things down, nothing you can do about that, did you max out the memory ?

    Like I said I plan on purchasing a new pc. Just to give me an idea of what I want in the new pc or what parts I need to do what I wanted. I have a question. Would my pc be fine with all the parts it has if it had a faster processor

    Since you're getting a new PC, I wouldn't worry about buying any new parts for the current one unless you just wanted to. You could do the other tweaks to help performance as much as possible for now. :)
