I don't know if this is where i should be.. my computer is slower than death! I have an older Dell L series that was updated several years ago. Pentium III processor, 512MB Ram, Windows XP with SP2. I have uninstalled everything I don't use, I've done disk cleans, defrags, I've run Ad-Aware, Spybot, Trend Micro Anti-Virus, CCleaner, and today I bought JV16 Power Tools and ran everything in there. While I've cleared a ton of space on the hard drive.. (it's 50% empty) it STILL runs like molasses. I really don't want to spend a ton of money for a new system.. Am I missing something?? All I really want to do with the thing is Internet, E-mail, some photo editing and a couple of games (the games are big though.) If anyone has any ideas, it would be GREATLY appreciated!
