My wife inherited my 2001 Dimension XPS. Its a P3 with 256K and a 7200 RPM
20 GB with XP Home installed (the config is attached below). Had not used
it in some time and ....
It is slower the mollasses!
I thought it was slow HD as it seems to spend of lot of time accessing the
drive. So I bought a 7200 RPM drive but now see it had one of that RPM
already and did not install the new drive. I thought 256M of memory was
adequate.
Is there a way to help speed up the thing?
YOU think the new 120MB 7200 RPM drive I got will be a lot faster then the
20G 7200 RPM drive thats in it now?
Any tips appreciated.
