1/22/2011 8:52:36 PM Older computer, about 8 years old, can't afford new one at this time, looking just to keep it running as fast and efficiently as I can for now until I'm able to afford to upgrade to a better one.

5/21/2009 7:52:15 PM Sometimes it runs ok, other times it is slower than a slug. will be replacing it, but since I mainly use my desktop, I would like to put off the replacement of my laptop. Fore example right now what appears on the screen is one word below my typeing speed. Sometimes, it is fine. I have spent hours trying to speed it up.l w

3/15/2012 8:25:29 PM It has always been slow. A couple of months ago it failed to boot up and I used the discs that came with it to reinstall the operating system. It works but is still very slow and sometime I just have to restart it to get it to run betterr.

6/22/2010 2:28:45 PM Seem to working fine now and then - ATUOMATIC UPDATES KEEPS ADDING TO THE C-DRIVE LOAD - I need to get bigger hard drives, and a dvd/cd rom burner and maybe some more ram memory. I wonder if I could get a nice Solid-State drive to replace the 30GB Primary! I did get a secondary hard drive bay with 40 GB but partitioned it to only use the 30GB in case I needed to convert back. I never had a writable optical drive an really want one!
