Title: Friends computer is really slow
Post by: saivon on June 18, 2013, 09:54:30 PM
So my friends computer is really slow I checked the processor it was good I think it was amd sempron 2.0ghz dual core not too bad so I am just assuming he has a virus and his internet is good too it's just that when ever he goes on a browser it's slow as hell so what should he do ?

AMD Sempron 2GHz is very slow to todays standards, might be time to upgrade

Yeah I thought so hmm I guess I will just tell him his processor is what's slowing down his pc I told him he should save up for i-3 or something but he does not have the money so do you know any good amd processors in like the 90-120 $ range for him ?

Rest of the specs would be nice, but more importantly;
What socket is his motherboard?

     A derp solution would be making sure that the harddrive isn't full.  If you want to see what is taking up so much space on your computer, WinDirStat (http://windirstat.info/download.html (http://windirstat.info/download.html)) is super easy to use.  Just run it, let it sit, and when it's done, you browse files just like on Windows Explorer, and you right-click stuff if you want to delete it, etc.

     If that is not the case, which it most likely is not, try defragging the computer.  Defraggler (http://www.piriform.com/defraggler (http://www.piriform.com/defraggler)) may take a while, but it can help make the computer run a LOT faster.  Keep in mind, defraggler will not create more space on the computer. 

I hope that helps.

Download a program, such as Speccy, on his computer and find out what motherboard he has. Then Google that motherboard and there you go.

Do you know what Sempron it is? it could be any range of sockets, but there are upgrades available.
