David Lawrence: Okay because when you talk about high resolution graphics and high resolution gaming your video card is going to be the biggest speed bump. The better the video card, the better, you know having RAM on board the video card so that it*s not really drawing RAM space from the actual machine is an interesting thing to do. And it will make your gaming better. You might want to look it in video or look at other video card platforms ATI and so on. So that*s one thing. 730 megabytes of RAM leads me to believe that your video is on-board because usually the number is not 730. It*s some multiple of 128. So it would be 768. So it could be that 38 megabytes of RAM is being used by your on-board video card. That could be the situation and if that*s the case then your machine is actually using the RAM space that the machine usually uses for operating applications to run video. So that could slow you down. So one other things you can do is increase the RAM space to a gigabyte. That will make things runs faster.

Carol: Okay.

David Lawrence: But it*s not necessarily going to make it run noticeably faster. It will just because that*s the way the math works out. When you say it runs slow do you have a bunch of popup pads?

Carol: No, I don*t have a high volume of Popup pads because I have SBC DSL and it has a popup blocker with it.

David Lawrence: That doesn*t mean you don*t have a high volume of Popup Ads on them. That just means you don*t see them. This is why I tell people not to use popup blockers because what*s going on in the background is those Popup Ads are popping. You just don*t see them and that*s slowing your machine down.

Carol: Okay.

David Lawrence: Just simply treat the symptom. You know to clean up the blood as opposed to try and treat the gash. That*s not a good idea. So what you need to do, do you go to websites and download music and movies and stuff like that?

Carol: No not usually.
