HP lap top. Very slow. You guys answered my earlier question about putting in a faster CPU. You said it's not a good idea. What about a new motherboard to...
IF the laptop is only 4 years old, it is probably a Pentium IV or equivalent AMD, which would mean the CPU speed is somewhere around 2 Ghz or more. That is...
I'm sorry sir. I'm old, and time seems to go so much faster now. The laptop must be older than 4 years. My mistake. I looked at the speed a few weeks ago when...

Yes, 800 Mhz is pretty marginal for running XP, but I have done it when I could put at least 512 Mbytes of memory in the unit. Windows 2000 would be a better...
I put Ubuntu 9.04 on my home computer last week. Wow! what a difference in speed compared to windows XP. I really like this Linux stuff! Have you tried it yet?...
I have a relatively new Compaq Presario (new enough to have Vista anyway) that seems to have a power problem. Sometime it will start to boot but then...
I put Ubuntu on a laptop a couple of years ago just to get familiar with it, but didn't really have the time to learn it. But I think I am going to check it...

Thanks Ralph I do have Ubuntu on my home computer. I think it works better than any Windows stuff. My wife's laptop is connected to her company's network where...
First issue is very slow at doing what? If it is a 4 year old laptop and trying to do anything higher end (games or graphics as an example) then it maybe time...
Thank you Mr Sheasley for the reply. The information that you may have missed was in an earlier post. The laptop in question I bought for my wife to use at...
Norton?? He put NORTON on it? That is most likely what is slowing it down. Go into the Control panel, add remove programs item, and uninstall Norton, and...
Yes I agree. I don't like Norton either. Actually I stopped using Norton on my desktop three years ago. I uninstalled and deleted everything I could find that...
Hi James: ... As someone else back in the thread said (think it was Ardell), get rid of NORTONS. It is a resourse hog, and there are many other antivirus...
