Using Win 10 PRO, AMD Athlon 64 processor 3500+ 2.20 GHZ, 4GB Ram (2x2) Nvidia Geforce GT610 through HDMI to a 32in Vizio TV/monitor. When i go to the web via any browser it takes almost 60 sec for the page to load. when playing a game like war commander on kixeye.com the lag is terrible. My device driver page says i need a co processor. any Idea where i can get on without downloading a lot of ADware/ bolatware? It ran slow when i used this same system for Ubuntu. Any help would be great. I have the Ram in ever other slot of the 2 that are used out of 4 slots

Your processor is too outdated to play War Commander, without tremendous lag. War Commander is a flashplayer based game, that taxes your cpu, not your video card. I started playing War Commander when it first came out, and lag was always an issue after they came out with the world map. The only thing that made the lag more bearable was upgrading to a quad core pc. Then the lag lessened dramatically. Don't get me wrong though, with war commander there is always lag, it doesn't matter how fast your pc is....it's just the nature of the beast. I could see how spyware would make it run worse though. I haven't played that game for around a year now....didn't think it was still running.

Has it always been slow surfing? If so, that could be the problem. Besides your using windows 10 on a processor that was made for windows xp, with only 4gb of ram.....it could be your processor, or ram just cannot deal well with win 10 requirements. It also probably doesn't deal with flash player well. It may just be time to upgrade to something that can handle today's tasks.
