Hello, ok, same old story, "when i first got my computer it was fast, but now it boggs alot..." Im running Windows XP(lol <----well theres the problem) P4 2.6GHZ cpu and 512DDR RAM. When the computer starts its fine but when i run a high memory prog(s) (like Bitcomet, opera, winamp, etc) it boggs to the point where its unusable. It wont recover even when i shut all that down, it still boggs after shutting that stuff off. What can i do about this? Is it time for a fresh install of Windows? Memory upgrade? like i said when i first got the computer it was fast so i know what it is capable of. I just want to know what the problem may be, and what i should do about it. tnx.
