I think you could update the memory to at least 2 GB and also maybe have the internal fan changed within the computer.

I brought it to the shop and had it serviced and a virus was removed. The problem while not completely cured was better but now its got to the stage that everything is so slow again I just get frustrated and turn it off. Other programmes and internet pages seem to run ok. Could it be a facebook thing I have done virus checks, defragmentation and disc clean ups. Can anyone suggest any further checks I can do before paying another €90. The shop told me it could be a memory issue, how can I check if this is the case and if so why are other WebPages and programmes running ok. Any help appreciated Regards Edel.. ________________________________ No virus found in this message.
