Hi I noticed that you only have,Memory: 1014MB RAM (1 GB), You might find that if you can upgrade to 2 to 4 GB of RAM your computing and gaming will be much nicer.

sorry to say, but your system is a wee bit old in the tooth, a bit like me, only I'm toothless.


XP really needs 1.5 MB ram for itself, so we in the know used to fit 2 MB, ram liked to be in pairs ... it gets a bit stroppy on it's own.

If you can "upgrade" your ram to 2MB, you should find things a bit easier to do. I suggest you use Crucial to help find the ram for you. One cravat, you'll need to know what motherboard you have.
