Hi I have a recently reformatted pc running XP Prof' version 2002 Service pk2
on a pentium3 935mhz 128ram. It appears to struggle at times even simply
moving through windows.
Its a very clean system running Nortons and Ad Watch (adaware) and I do
regular maintenence. (clear cookies, cache, temp files , defrag etc)
I thought perhaps the 128ram was not enough as I have been told the 935mhz
should be sufficient. What do you think?
Also Nortons loads up on startup and this takes far too long (several
minutes) Is there any way of speeding up start up?
I did do a bit of investigating in device manager and upon checking all the
properties of the hardware I came up with no drivers installed for these
components listed below. Is this normal?
Direct memory access controlleron (location Intel(R) 82801AA LPC Interface
Controller)
Intel(r) 82801AA SMBus controller ( location PCI bus 0, device 31, function 3)
Intel(r) 82802 Firmware Hub Device (location on Intel(R) 82801AA LPC
Interface Controller)
Numeric data processor (location on Intel(R) 82801AA LPC Interface
Controller)
programme interupt controller (location on Intel(R) 82801AA LPC Interface
Controller)
System speaker (on Intel(R) 82801AA LPC Interface Controller)
System timer (location on Intel(R) 82801AA LPC Interface Controller)
