Question : Problem: What do I need to make my computer rum faster?
|
|
I don't know much about computers, but I have an IBM Bentium 133 with 16M Ram, 2GB Hard Drive, 4xCD ROM, 16-Bit Sound, 56k PCI Modem, and 1M Video. It runs so PAINFULLY slow! ESPECIALLY ON THE INTERNET. What can I do to improve performance? IS there anything I can do myself?

Nice and simple........ go out there and start peicing one together....
*Motherboard/Processor -INTEL- Although it scores high in the reviews..they are overpriced.. Blah!
-AMD- YES!!! Go for it.. get yourself an AMDk6-2 500mhz.. they're under a hundred bucks! and if you want a goodmotherboard... I LOVE ASUS... www.asus.com that's also under a hundred.. (btw.... i'd get one without onboard video or audio..... then you have more freedom)
*RAM Depending on the motherboard you get...get 133sdram or 100..... 133 is much betta~!... size? 64 should do for the standard user...
*Video card 3d all the way!! =) graphics are something that are really awesome to show off... personally i think a video card is probably one of the most important investments besides the processor... *NICE* TNT2 voodoo3 *AWESOME* voodoo-5.. GeForce 1 or 2...
*Harddrive udma.. +++ SCSI ++++++++++++ so.. in other words.. get what you can afford
Modem 56k NON winmodem
Sound card Gamer? get a Vortex!! or.. a SBlive
cdrom- 32x+ will be cool cdrw2x and up is good DVD drive is sweet....
floppy- Duh..!
Extras.. GET A TV card.. wintv is probably one of the coolest tuners out there.. you can watch TV and chat? YES~
well.. i need to go to sleep now...... but if you need some help.. email me.. [email protected] felipe
