Greetings; I've joined this forum and it's site becaule I heard from a local p.c. tech. that it was the best… Anyway as you will see this pc is rather old with little memory but it still works great and has become somewhat of an eirloom. It was second-handed to by my brother and at the time I had never touched a pc keyboard. I have learned quite a lot now and even asked for help from others. I have recently switched from dialup to dsl and because of the new speed I had I became foolish and downloaded diff. kinds of gadgets, media players and the such. Well, as a result I now have a pretty slow machine and would like some advice . I hope the following is the info. required and am anxious for your opinion/opinions… many thanks to you -db-
