12/22/2009 8:40:32 PM I purchased this computer used, from a friend. I had a tech wipe the hard drive clean and re-install Windows because it was full of spyware. It ran OK for awhile but then started freezing.
 
  2.00 out of 4
11/5/2009 6:31:35 AM I usually have many apps running at once and the biggest problem is that it can only hold 1GB of RAM. Often apps freeze for a while, which can be annoying. Also streaming video does not always play smoothly.
