I have a dell - P4 1.8 GHz - 128MB of RAM. Whenever I log onto my username, it takes forever to load the desktop. Would a RAM upgrade fix this. If I upgrade to 512 MB of RAM will the desktop pop up right away or will it still have to load?
You have the right processor power, but ram is actually how much apps and request can be ran at a certain or same time......
If you upgrade it would be a very good choice
yes it would speed it up but, but you should use the free tools windows have, such as disk cleanup, disk defragmenter, get a free registry cleaner & use scandisk to fix errors that can cause slow boot time, just for the basics.
I could go on and on about this matter but........the best thing to use is pc booster software, the free trial only fixes a little, but the full version REALLY boosts your computer, i have the full version and it is the best. it tells you every detail problem thats slowing down your computer, all the technical stuff. You simply click optimize and your done and your pc restarts and you will see the difference.
Becasue when it comes to speeding up a computer that can be very tricky, because of all the applications and files that gather up after time.
hope this help, take care
