My old computer is slower than he should be
I live in a shared flat, and we wanted to use my old computer for the living room, so set him up with the TV by s-video, which works pretty good. We wanted to use it for emulating n64 or watching movies that lay on our HDD's and stream them through wlan.
Now, to avoid problems with our win7-home-network, we updated the old computer from XP to win7.
But now, even after manually installing several drivers, and letting windows-update taking care of the remaining "unknown devices" in the device manager, the computer doesn't run smoothly.
Back when I was using him as my normal PC i played battlefield 2 and watched DVD's without any problems.
But now, when we try to emulate mariokart f.i., the video and the audio stutter extremely. Also when we try to watch a DVD.
The computer is from 2003, has 1 GB ram, amd athlon 1Ghz and radeon 9800 LE.
Anyone has a hint?
\\Edit: Sh*t, sorry, i wanted to post this in Performance & Maintenance, must have missed my click.
