Is It Useless?

Don't spend any more money on that old type of system.

Look at what you can get to start building a newer system and put the money towards that instead.

u huh riiiiiiiiiiight

meh mind as well that mofo piece of shizzle should be dunked and a new one should be purchased cuz its all good you know and ram shouldnt be purchased for that pos u kno and not only that you should build the new system urself cuz its fun and all that bullshit and well, lifes meant to be fun so while ur at it go to google and search for mini-itx systems cuz those damned systems are kickass especially the ones which are shoved into power supplies and while ur at it you can build 1 in ur subwoofer and in ur printer and in your TV and in your VCR and in your body (cuz it'd fit) and mind as well in your PC thats running rite now and maybe even into your jacket and it would work using solar panels and would only be good for book reports and college crap and elementary school crap and...

im just rambling arent I?

[sparsely]

you're not very good at that.

I run Windows Xp Pro with a 334MHz Processor and 160 Mb of Ram and a 4 gig hardrive.

you&#39;d prolly get more of a speed-up just by falling back to Win98 SE or WinME rather than using XP.

on a brand new computer, the speed difference between 98 and XP is pretty negligible... but on an old comp like the one you described, XP would be noticeably sluggish compared to 98.

I love my computer. It&#39;s a 400mhz Celeron, with 256MB of PC100 SDRAM, a 40 GIG harddrive, and Windows 98 SE. It&#39; a 5 year old Gateway that I&#39;ve slowly upgraded. It&#39;s a lot faster than my new computer with XP, which doesn&#39;t make sense to me. I like 98SE a lot better than XP though.

You can never have too much ram

It&#39;s a lot faster than my new computer with XP, which doesn&#39;t make sense to me.

You problely have too much crap running at once. try making sure you don&#39;t have too much stuff running at startup

try using this Startup Control Panel

and this StartupMonitor
