Slow computer

[Metal Bird]

My computer is now 4 years old, I upgraded to Windows Vista back in September, and ever since I upgraded to Vista, something is slowing my computer down. I tryed to defrag and clean my hard drive over and over again, but it's still slowing my performance down. Can anyone tell me what's going on?

It is probably the age of your computer not working with the vista upgrade. Buy a new computer would be your best bet. If money is tight right now downgrade back to Xp, until you can afford one.

To run Vista you need at least 1GB of RAm, though to run it without issues, you need 1.5GB+

A minuim of 1 GB you say?

Depends. Home Basic only requires 512MB. Everything else (except Starter) requires 1GB.

A four-year old computer is definite steer-clear for any desirable version of Vista, stick with XP and your general experience will improve.

Cleaning your hard drive is not going to do much, what you need is more sticks of RAM.

You can buy more RAM, or if you are willing to spend more money, buy a new computer.

But here is MY OPINION on the matter- uninstall vista. I have vista on one of my

towers. That computer is brand new, extremely fast, and I hate it. Why? Vista. It differs

from people to people, but if you have been using XP for a long time, you will start to

hate Vista. There are no advantages in Vista from XP. NONE.
