My Compaq Presario at home is s l o w a s m o l a s s e s. It needs an upgrade, a step up, an upheaval... e'rythang.
I think mine is a 99 as well.
At school I have a '00 Gateway that was great at first. Now anytime I have more than 2 programs open at a time, it wants to freeze! I get so annoyed that I usually end up just abandoning whatever project it is I'm working on or go to the computer lab. I think it may be that my hard drive is too full - anybody know how I can save/store MP3s without cluttering my C: drive so much??
