computer help please (about specs)

[a012052]

hello all i have recently sold my laptop and got a desktop computer an oldish one and have been updating it.

it had 512 ram in and i have updated that to 1.71gb which i notice a HUGE difference, and the computer is super quick loading and changing between tasks, the only problem i seem to have is with the internet browser i have tried several, the problem i have is with viewing video. you tube works fine but when i go full screen i get some lag, also with adverts on certain websites and moving images seem to make my computer lag so much, why is this? i no its not the ram or the internet because my old laptop worked fine with 1gb ram and the same internet. i think its my video card or graphics card as it is only 32mb here are what i found about my machine from a program i downloaded if anyone could pin point why they think it might be lagging i would very much appreciate it. only seems to lag with internet graphics, my DVDs play perfect on it

thanks

What download speeds are you getting with your system?

You can get a super cheap videocard (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102817&cm_re=hd4350-_-14-102-817-_-Product for example if your board has PCI-E; if it has AGP you can try http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...5&cm_re=agp_video_card-_-14-139-165-_-Product but you pay way more money for what you're getting with the dead AGP connection) that will render video much more quickly, but I don't think that's your problem.

Go to www.speedtest.net and post your download speeds and ping.

You've got plenty of ram for that system, but it is a very old processor, likely the dead socket 939 which severely limits the chip's you could upgrade to. Finding a new one will be almost impossible, but Ebay usually has a Socket 939 Dual Core which should work just fine with your motherboard. You will notice a huge performance gain with a new chip and hd video card.
