Hey guys, I've just put a new fresh install of Windows XP Pro on a computer. Computer boots fine, however it is incredibly slow. 1 GB of memory is installed, however now it shows as 800 MB. The machine used to work fine with web browsing and videos on YouTube, however now its awful and barely does anything. It freezes constantly while doing some light we browsing, and YouTube videos are laggy and unresponsive. I went ahead to the website and downloaded some drivers, however these seem to have no effect on the problem.
The machine originally had Windows XP Home, but I dont think installing Pro would effect the performance of the computer would be this devastating.
Please keep in mind that this is an old budget eMachines tower.
The computer has a single core AMD Athlon 64 2650e at 1.6 GHz.
It says that there is 896 MB of RAM installed, however I looked inside the computer and there was a total of 1 GB.
Any ideas on how to fix this computer? Could be that one of the parts have gone bad, or I've messed up somewhere. Thanks.
