Hi, I'm running windows xp and below are the specs I think might be helpful. The most severe cases of lag: often running on 100% "CPU usage" (from task manager-performance section), laggy when typing sometimes, switching between window tabs (while only one internet explorer is open). Please help, it feels like I can't breath because of this lag! Thanks.
2 questions:
1. Is it just an old, slow computer that can't handle Quickbooks and several tabs of internet explorer at once?
2. Will $75 RAM upgrade to dual memory total 2gb be worth it? Not sure where the bottleneck is (likely everything)
Maximum Memory Capacity: 2048MB
Currently Installed Memory: 1.5GB (512mb DDR PC3200 AND 1GB not sure)
Total Memory Slots: 2, max 2gb RAM
Dual Channel Support: Yes
CPU Family: Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.53GHz Model 4, Stepping 9
CPU Speed: 2527 MHz
Used for Quickboos and internet multitasking only.
