right flatmates neice has a packard bell pc running a 3ghz pentium D chip,paltry 200 whatever mb RAM and onboard graphics.
my athlon xp 2800 with 512mb ram and a low spec radion graphics card whips its ass TBH.
so whats the best/cheapest way to speed it up.
thinking if i add a cheap graphics card,cheap as in -£30 and a stick of 512mb ram this should help?
just looking to speed up general window tasks and make it smoother playing the likes of sims 2 and ultrastar.
it seems generally slow to me so multitasking will make it crawl i suspect.
oh the chip reports as 64bit but its runnig 32 bit xp.
any benifit in me obtaining a 64 bit version over the legit 32 bit version on the system?
