gfx conversion
I thought i would be generous and offer my old sapphire x1950pro 512 pci to my sister so went there tonight to install it (after going on wednesday and realising the psu was deficient and getting another) . what a carry on .

Putting the bits on was ok but installing the drivers was so slow . I kept rebooting bacause i thought the system was crashing all the time until 5 hours later recognised it was the system that was so slow at loading up . (never mind i got a few free vodkas ) .

Problem is now how to make the system faster . Her son is constantly on chat sites which keep popping up which was a pain even though i kept shutting them down

The pc is a T9608
RAM 1
cpu E4500
MB Foxxconn?
250 HD Which has aroung 220 left
600w cit PSU
and my gpu Sapphire radeon x1950 512mb
Takes about 10 mins to finish start up.


What can make this thing go faster ???????????????

Easiest way would be to reformat and reinstall Windows. That'll clean up all the junk and software and potential viruses and spyware on the system.
