Hi,
I have a PC that I built myself sometime back in 2007-2008, and its now running and snail pace... well sometimes it really takes a while to even load task manager. I want to know should I bother upgrading some parts of it or give up and invest in a new PC.
I believe its either my RAMs or my HDD that's letting me down, but i'd like some expert opinions.
I am not really a PC gamer... I have a X360, PS3, PS4 for my gaming needs.. So my graphics car is awful on the PC.
Components in my Desktop
Motherboard: Asus Commando
CPU: Inter Q6600 (Running at stock 2.4ghz) - although I did Overclock it before to run at 3ghz, but right now its running at stock speed
RAM: DDR2 XMS2 - 6400 800 Mhz 1GB x 3 (3GB Total)
HDD: Seagate ST3250624AS 7200RPM 250GB (Super Old LOL, and its nowhere near full I got a 1TB External Drive I store everything on)
Graphics: ATI Radeon 3800 Series ( Don't remember which one exactly it is... It was so long ago)
Operating System: Windows 8
If you can tell me what part(s) of my PC is letting me down. I mean I know this is no gaming PC, but I don't expect it to stall as much as it does on regular browsing and watching Movies.
P.S Before you say it maybe it Virus.... It's not!!! I understand PC's well enough to avoid such things (I am a Computer Science graduate... LOL I am ashamed to say I don't know much about hardware though)
Thanks in advance
