For my graduation 2 1/2 years ago, my parents bought me a Sony Vaio and it has served me well. I am thinking of possibly upgrading my CPU for better multi-threading because i have noticed it has gotten a little slow. I currently have:
Motherboard:
ACPI x86-based PC (i believe)
Disk Drive:
MemoryStick0 Device
SD1 Device
TOSHIBA MK1637GSX
Display Adapter:
NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GT
Memory Technology Driver:
Texas Instruments PCIxx12 Integrated FlashMedia Controller
Monitor:
Generic PnP Monitor
Processors:
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7250 @ 2.00GHz
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7250 @ 2.00GHz
(i just went to Device Manager and listed whatever i thought might be important. if i missed anything, let me know and where to find it. noob to the hardware world)
I am currently trying to build a PC as well but I am probably going to keep that computer home and bring my laptop to college. Would it be worth it to try upgrading?
What I mean by slow (from above): Minizing/Maximizing iTunes takes a few seconds (iTunes disappears during that time); sometimes when i try switching different tabs in FireFox takes a few seconds; sometimes scrolling down the display lags;
Its not my internet because my sister has a new laptop and she does not have issues on hers. I also run CCleaner often, RevoUnistaller to uninstall all my programs, and GlaryUtilities for scans and startup manager
