Speeding up my lap-top

JoeTom93 · 01-01-2007, 10:38 PM

I own a Dell Inspiron 8200. It is about 3-4 years old. It is very slow. I have up-graded the memory to 512 megabytes and used up all the space for memory. It has a half/full hard drive (40 gigs which is enough for me) I have Norton (which I am getting rid of) Can anyone help me?

Thanks
