If the Internet seems slow down when using IE7 maybe you have a slow
internet connection.
If the whole system slows down when your using IE7 and you have no malware
and have checked your start ups too make sure nothing you really don’t need
is starting
I would suggest more RAM..752 is really nothing nowadays
I strongly disagree. 752MB is more than many people need.
How much RAM you need for good performance is *not* a
one-size-fits-all situation. You get good performance if the amount of
RAM you have keeps you from using the page file significantly, and
that depends on what apps you run. Most people running a typical range
of business applications find that somewhere between 256MB and 512MB
works well, others need more. Almost anyone will see poor performance
with less than 256MB. Some people, particularly those doing things
like editing large photographic images, can see a performance boost by
adding even more than 512MB--sometimes much more.
If you are currently using the page file significantly, more memory
will decrease or eliminate that usage, and improve your performance.
If you are not using the page file significantly, more memory will do
nothing for you. Go to
http://billsway.com/notes_public/winxp_tweaks/ and download
WinXP-2K_Pagefile.zip and monitor your page file usage. That should
give you a good idea of whether more memory can help, and if so, how
much more.
