Hey computer people

[ignom]

While my ibook is in the shop, I'm using Windows. I hooked up my dad's emachine (which is a Celeron with WindowsMe) because the Compaq I was using was just horrible. I had to install the ethernet card on here.

This one works better, but the internet starts to stall and freeze up after I visit a few pages, and I can only have one window open at a time or it drags.

Even other programs that have nothing to do with the internet take a while to load if I have the internet open. By "other programs," I mean Snood.

Is there something I can do to make this work faster and better? I already defragged the hard drive and got rid of anything I thought was unnecessary and might slow the computer down.

[Mr. Ubiquity]

its because your using a celery-ron by Intel.   Slow crappy processor.  Go back to using a typewriter until your ibook is back up and running.  It will be alot faster.   Or go way old fashion,   pen and paper.

Right click on the My Computer icon go into properties. Post how much memory it has.

My computer had a Celeron processor, and while it isn't the fastest in the world, it's never really given me any trouble.

What program are you using to browse?  Are you sure it's not infected with malware of some kind?

He may be sleeping now, so your questions may take a while to be answered.  Just FYI.

I think that's why emachines only cost $5.

Do you want to wrestle nishi and the monks for the 40g hard drive out of Timothy's old computer?

This computer is only as a back up for when my ibook is in the shop.

Is there some way to take the hard drive out of this Compaq? I know how to install ethernet cards and CD Roms and that's about it.

EVERYTHING is replaceable in a pc.   

[BigDun]

The problem isn't the hard drive. It's the amount of memory chips installed. You might be able to take it to computer repair shop to see if they have some really old memory chips laying around that will work in it.

[ignom]

The front of the emachine says it has a 7.5 GB hard drive.

[Jessie]

RAM?

I'm confused.

[BigDun]

A 7.5 GB hard drive is plenty large enough if all you want to do is surf the web.

[BigDun]

RAM?

I'm confused.

Yes. RAM chips = Memory chips.

[Jessie]

Oh.  I have a few sticks of RAM laying around if you want to drive back up and get them, Jason.

[Mr. Ubiquity]

RAM?

I'm confused.

its the amount of thrust the cpu gives the hard drive, every once and a while, you might hear the cpu ask whos your daddy if you listen careful.

I know what it is, just not that that's what we were discussing.  Memory chips sounds like some kind of snack.
