Hello friends.

I am new here, and I don;t know what happen to my laptop.

I have a problem regarding my laptop. It has an AMD processor clocked at 1 Ghz and a RAM of 384 MB. It is running Windows XP Pro w/ SP2. I am running on mulitple applications with no problem. Then one day, I boot up my laptop, and it took me 3 minutes to boot up. I've thought it just slow down because I haven't defragged for months. So I defrag it instantly, but the When I look up at my hardware configuration at My Computer, I have seen that my processor speed have been clocked at 496 Mhz and a RAM speed of 96 MHz. That is why some of my applications are running very vry very slow. Do someone in this forum, experience this kind of scenario? I am having a hard time with my laptop right now. I really need your help regarding this problem. Thanks in advance.
