I am over to friend's house for check computer. It's run slow like hell. I am not sure it wouild be bad the hd or need re-format?



 
Something is running in the background that is at least accessing the disk drive.
Is anything running?

Have you run any anti spyware utils to keep it clean?
 
already check virus, spyware, and programs.

That's mean nothing to wrong with hdd?
 
No wonder!

This computer is only 256MB of RAM.

I see PF usage over 335MB. That's mean computer use hdd when RAM is full.
 
I check ram thru CPUZ..

This is only pc2700 (166mhz) 256MB.

I like to buy PC3200 (400mhz) 516MB because more low price than 2700(333mhz) 512mb

Motherboard should work very well with pc3200? I know i had to take rid old ram.
 
What type of processor is in that? This day in age if it is a P4 or above 1 gig would show improvement over 512 megs. I am still running 512 megs on a P4, but my machine is 4 years old and I haven't really upgraded since then, and RAM was a lot more expensive then.

If it it a P4/A64 machine, spring for a full gig of RAM. If it is a PIII/AXP machine 512 should be fine given the CPU limitations, though a gig would still probably show some improvement,
 
Will add to 1gb for later.

It's P4 and only two slots of ram. I believe 1GB is max for that.
