Hi all,
Recently, my home desktop PC became so slow, so I did some upgrades myself. The problem is that it's still slow, and I can't figure it out why. Not that it drives me crazy, but I think it should be way faster than it is now.
Could anybody give me advice as to 1) why it's still slow, and 2) how I can take care of this?
Here is the specs of the main parts:
CPU : AMD Athlon x2 4400+
Memory : Samsung DDR2 PC2-6400U 2G x 3 (total 6G)
Storage: SSD 840 Evo Samsung (for system) + 500GB HDD (for data)
Mainboard: GA-M56S-S3
VGA: GeForce 8500 GT NVIDIA
What I do with my home desktop PC is really basic stuff. Just web surfing, and document editing, etc. No gaming at all.
To my knowledge, CPU shouldn't matter much based on my normal usage of the system. Memory is more than enough even though it's not DDR3. Most of all, SSD should give me the biggest bump, but I don't realize its speed. I can see its speed only when I boot my PC.
Any advice?
Thanks!
