hi guys n gals,have a question or two for you.
my uncle has a pc with the following sig: amd duron 850mhz,512 ram sdr,10 gig h/d,cd wr,nvidia mx 440,running on a 17 inch monitor at 1280x1024.win 98 (not se )??
on using his system we are finding that system resources are running at 35%.
i had a quick look at the start up menu to find 18(i think+/-) processes running these being,norton system works 2003,lex printer,live update,antivirus+clean sweep and other software ie kazaa,realplayer ect.
i have shut most of them down but am finding it vary hard to get anyware near 50%,i have my system see sig: running at 84% off the net and 80% browsing and it hits a low 47% when using a p2p but thats to be expected.
now he wishes to do a format to get his system back with a decent heart beat,but i want to tweak it back up in stead.As he has spent alot of time setting things up+his duaghter gos flat out on p2p?
what can be done without reformating to get this system back up and running like its on viagra for him.
im an averrage tweaker but would appriciate some o/cers input
remeber at the end of hte day it gets dark!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
