I have screenshots of my specs but i am at a loss. I used to be able to build a machine from scratch but been out of touch for a while. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

p.s. is there a way to upload screenshots?

performance wise. my mouse pointer still lags, can't even play games that only require 1gb of ram to run without drag. also, in my resource monitor, the average amount of "free" ram i have going on at any point is 60-190.

windows does see all 8 gbs. im not sure how to check temp. hell, i dont even know how to see what is using what anymore. i gave up on knowing my hardware after vista. i do know that my graphics adapter is an intel GMA3000 with 256mb total memory. 0mb dedicated, 64mb system and 192mb shared. Could this be the reason?? can i put in a video card since this one is onboard? only try to play like bigfish games, because i KNOW my computer would definately not handle anything with better graphics :chaudar:
