Windows Vista Computer is super slow..

I have followed all of Evans steps and cleaned out my computer as much as I can.

I also agree with rsinfo about relocating programs. It would make sense if I was desperate for space but I have another drive and enough money to just purchase another hard drive.

160g simply isnt enough. But that's not a problem anymore if you say that 2nd 160g drive is usable. What's the best way to go about formatting that drive.

Also is there any significant gains from overclocking my processor or graphics card. They are pretty good quality I wouldn't mind clocking them a bit.

Just initialise the drive,format it and mount it by giving some letter like D:. That's it to formatting.

You should move all your libraries [Documents/Pictures etc.],mail to the new drive. That should free up quite a bit of space on C drive.

Overclocking processor needs a board that support overclocking. Most of AMD's CPU can't be overclocked beyond 4-5% even with the best of boards [my son's machine seems to be an exception. He is currently using X3 as X4 at around 8% overclock.]

 

Formatting the drive right now. Will move files to the other drive to free up space in the C drive.

What about overclocking the graphics card?

 

What program should I use to overclock?

 

Sounds good. Well I think our work here is done gentlemen. Thank you very much for all your tips and help.
