I'm running XP SP2 with a 1.6 ghz Semprom processor, 1/2 gig of RAM and a 19
gb hard disk with 4 gig of free space. Gets pretty slow at times. If you
were going to throw money at some part of the system first, would it be more
RAM, or bigger HD? I know they're both cheap, but money's a bit tight and
flipping a coin is not giving me the clear answer I want. Most of the work I
do for my job does NOT involve huge files. Rather, the machine gets creepy
when I have 4-5 apps running. I could be wrong, but I don't think registry
clutter is the issue. I don't constantly install & uninstall experimental
software like some people. I defrag monthly, and the computer is scanned
nightly for viruses (AVG) and other nasties (ZoneAlarm).
