I ran Adobe Premier video editing on my XP machine with a slightly higher spec processor and 2GB and it never struggled, so you'll fly through. I'm not sure if there is method of identifying ram type from inside windows, so you might be best to take the side cover off and without touching the ram stick identify it from markings on it.Originally Posted by Quasievil

The problem your having is with the virus protection mate i'll put money on that ! AVG free sucks and dont stop spyware, add the fact Symetec (norton) will still have processors running that combo of chokka full of spyware and avg free will slow ya to a snail pace !
Be intersested to no what processor speed ya have being 6 yrs old !
Go to start again and then click on controll panel, then click performance and maintanance ! at the top of the list should be see basic information about your computor ! click that and an appelet opens with system info tells you at the bottom !
Like mine says 2.80 ghz, 512 mb of ramm !
Download that advanced system care link i put up and that should clean the abundance of spyware you have slowing ya down !
If ya want to delete AVG and try some other free protection, i can give ya step by step to delete avg and any norton that left in there !
And two other links that will protect ya pc ! Tried and true lol i have been to some NASTY nasty sites and they have kept me viral free so far lol !
A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

Just to add, unless the machine is actually quiting on you, for what your needs are you don't need a newer computer. Update your ram, clean out any spyware, defrag regularly, and save yourself some money. You do mention gaming as a future possibility, your machine will run plenty of titles just fine. If you were an avid 'got to have the best' gamer you'd be updating graphics cards/motherboards/processors every 6 months.

Dont have a performance and maintenaince under control panel bro.
I saw I had a couple of Norton things, so I removed those programs.
If AVG is shit then what you recommend mate, keen for you to show me !!

For more information about your system I thoroughly recommend System Information for Windows (S.I.W.). It is small, standalone (doesn't need an install) and can be run from a floppy disc, flash drive or whatever. It gives complete and interesting information about all aspects of your computer system. You'll find out such useful facts as your fan speed and internal temperatures. You can also check how much ram each slot in your computer can handle and what type to use. A most handy tool indeed!

Oh, and I don't think you can go past Avast for free and effective anti-virus software. http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

Microsoft Essentials seems to be pretty good and it's free. It's not resource hungry either. U just have to get over the fact that it's microsoft stuff

Well if you deleted norton, no need to tell ya how to go into the start menue and open add or remove programs to delete AVG then lol
But the protection i'm using is Avast free virus protection ( like avg the free vrsions only cover you for trojans etc not spyware so ya need something to clean that shit up too)
For spyware i use two first is the advanced system care
And to pick up any extra spyware (sometimes just one misses a few) i use adaware
When ya open the link it takes you too cnet.com downloads which test and rate all these free things ! Dont just hit the yellow start download button lol that aint it !
Scroll down a couple of inches and you'll see the different downloads, the free ones are at the top of the list on the three links i have here !
If ya keep em updated and use em daily they keep ya clean as !!

Sorry mate, Amazing what a comma can do !!
I use two, first one is the advanced system care and the second is adaware !! personally think adaware is the better for finding spyware, but the advanced gives you extra tools like defrag etc !
