Technology What do i do?

ok, my comp has 512 mb of ram and 2.4 ghz processor speed....but still, my comp manages to lag alot...when i click on my computer, it takes a while for the computer to list the files...maybe im expecting too much from it, but when i click on my music folder which has about 213 folders inside of it that are albums, i expect it to open up instantly and not have to load anything....


other than that, it takes about 10 seconds for a program like aim, or even firefox to open up....there's also alotta lag....now, at firsti thought it was a lack of RAM..but 512 isnt enough??? then i dled something called freeram booster....its docked in my taskbar and constantly tells me how much ram i have left free....alot of times it says 105 or so and the computer is still lagging....

so i was wondering, do i need more ram?? i've checked for viruses, spyware, etc. nothing turns up....i have a 120 gig HD, and have about 20 gigs free....could that be my problem?

Sorry for the lateness of the reply haven't been on for a while, so when was the last time you reformatted your hard drive? It can be that you have loaded so many stuff d/l many things that it bogs down your computer to a point. Maybe you have other things running in your background that you don't know. Press control +alt and delete and ceck what other programs and systems are running. But if you haven't formatted you hard drive for over a year that can be the cause.

Also defrag your hard drive so you computer can access your files faster.

reformatting meaning i gotta erase everything on it??? damn..im gonna have to get an external hard drive to back all the stuff up....
Do you know when was the last time you did that? Reformatting that is? Also you should always have a backup of all your important files in a cd-r or a dvd-r, but if you have alot of crap than a external hard drive is the best choice.

You lose everything in your hard drive including your anime porn. Just make sure you have backed up everything and have your operating system working (meaning the cd that contains your operating system works).
