Hi George.

Its a custom built machine, but the white box brand is Compal and the model 
number FL90.  You should be able to find the specs for the case on the Compal 
website, but if you can't I'll happily drag up my invoice with the spec on for 
you to take a look at.

All the best, Ibrahim.

  Hi Everyone.

  Its unusual for me to write to any list with a technical problem *smile*, but 
I can't figure out what is happening here so would appreciate some assistance.

  I recently started experiencing sluggish performance of my main laptop pc.  
The general spec is a 2.4GHZ dual core processor, 2GB memory, Nvidia 512MB 
dedicated graphics chip and Windows XP professional edition.  The laptop has a 
250GB SATA 5400RPM hard drive and when doing the tests I had my Freecom XXS 
drive connected which has 320GB with the same rotational speed.  I ran a series 
of performance tests at www.pcpitstop.com which reported that 2D and 3D 
graphics were poor, but most alarmingly, the memory performance of this machine 
was only around the 400MB mark, yet i have 1066MHZ memory in this machine.  
Also, disk performance was poor, with my freecom drive only read/write data 
speed at 9MB whilst the system disk managed 33MB.  If anyone has any 
suggestions as to what may be causing these issues, some ideas would be much 
appreciated.

  All the best, Ibrahim.
