Hi! I want to know about the specs of my PC are they fast? Here are they: Pentium 4 CPU 2.80 GHz 800 MHz FSB, Nvidia GeForce FX 5600 XT 128MB, 512MB RAM, SoundBlaster live 24-bit soundcard, and lots of other specs that I wouldn't even bother to mention them all!
 
no, it is not "fast". sounds like an average system ideal for browsing the internet, office and light gaming.

nope, they're actually pretty bad. And now with the C2D, they are no where near the fastest, or fast, or even decent :P

Oit you, i run my main rig on a P4, they arent that bad if your not doing very much. Im rpicing up a new system as we speak becasue i cant be dealing with it anymore. And yeh, the graphics card is probably the shoddiest part there, (beats my one though) lol...

By todays standards thats not a great system at all, and whoever told you P4's were the fastest CPU needs a kick in the teeth. They've been over taken by 2 generations of CPU's noe, the Pentium D's and now the Core2Duo range.

If you are searching for a saleable price on that i wouldnt pay anything above £200 for it (thats like $370 USD)

okay, I agree with you ESTA, it seems you have the Core 2 Duo inside your computer and you probably love it very much. I just heard from a magazine article that Intel Core 2 Duo CPUs are superfast at everything but my PC now has an AGP motherboard so I should settle for a PCI Express-based one if I really want to upgrade my PC
 
mmm... id vote for a full system overhaul. Just go buy like an hp they're cheap enough now, and just put in a nice vid card.

Like everyone said, p4 is not the best now a days, but if you are not a hardcore gamer who needs to play on absolute highest setting then your p4 will do fine. especially that you already upgraded your pc.

The best ting you can do to speed up your pc now is do a fresh xp install if you don't have much files in your system that you wana keep. Disable all the useless processes and all the performance counters and drop the delay that the windows sets for files and folders when opened.

I manged to get my pc to run only 16 processes when the windows starts. It will save allot of your RAM and your pc will fell ever faster then before(with the ram that you just added).

I lost the link for doing all these but you should be able to find something if you do a search on google. Type something along this line, "windows xp optimization guild" don't disable the print spooler (if it tells you to)otherwise you will not be able to use your printer anymore.

good luck
 
I think if you........

I think if you........its totally my suggestion....... if you upograde your computer that is RAM you can make it to 1 GB then it will run more faster than its running now.
