Hi all
It's been a long time!
I'm currently using a P2P program called Soulseek which after an hour or so seems to be a ridiculous resource hog as everything runs very slow. Here's what I'm running:
AMD Athlon 1600XP+
256mb 2100 DDR RAM
Shuttle AK31 Socket A Mobo
My questions are the following:
1. Will another 256mb RAM make a noticable improvement?
2. I'm currently using a Seagate ST310014ACE 5400rpm 10gb Hard Drive from out of an Xbox to run the OS on - will a faster drive be any better as I don't think these Xbox drives are the best?
3. What about overclocking? My current heatsink and fan supports up to the Athlon 2000XP+ cpu so would it still be adequate to cool an overclocked 1600? If so then I would be greatly appreciative on some guidlines of how to go about this.
4. I really can't be bothered to buy a new proc & mobo!
Cheers guys
Mark
