Should I throw in the towel?
Here's my system:
Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.93GHz
Intel Corporation D945GNT Motherboard
Default System BIOS
2GB total memory / 2GB usable
(1) ST31000528AS ATA Device (2) ST3300831AS ATA Device (3) Generic 2.0 Reader-CF USB Device (4) Generic 2.0 Reader-Multi USB Device (5) Generic STORAGE DEVICE USB Device
(1) NVIDIA High Definition Audio (2) NVIDIA High Definition Audio (3) IDT High Definition Audio CODEC (4) NVIDIA High Definition Audio (5) NVIDIA High Definition Audio
NVIDIA GeForce GT 430 Video Card
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit 7601 Multiprocessor Free Service Pack 1
I've read the Trouble Shooting Steps for Win 7 and completed most of it, several times. Even as far as a FULL re-install. First problem was video's on YT, so I upgraded my video card and still experience choppy vids with sound lag. Now my internet browsing, working with MS, etc has crawled to a snails pace.
My first thought was to upgrade my Motherboard and CPU but then I run into the cost compared to buying a laptop or the like for my Home PC. Hence, I like having this tower and the storage for files at my home.
Looking at my specs (let me know if there are any other's that need to be considered), will more memory help or send this thing to the scrap yard?
