    I would say my computer is an average home computer. It can run a lot of games, but high end games tend to run a little slower than normal. I was wondering, what can I do to speed up my computer? Does adding more RAM Memory help? I'm assuming it does, but I'm not too sure. Or perhaps the processor?

    Thanks. :D

    Edit:
    As I said before, my computer is an average home computer, so yeah, it's not a super gaming rig.

    Specs:
    Intel Pentium 4 (2.80 GHz)
    44.1 GB Free Disk Space
    512 RAM
    256MB GeForce 7300 GT

    Easiest is to add RAM. How much RAM do you have now?
    something that might help a tiny bit is to run CCleaner:

    You must provide a little more info so we can look into the situation.

    Essentially, though, more RAM / better video card a few upgrades, etc.. is what it will take.

    I'd go with deleting the porn first. It's hard to let go but after a couple days of being able to clearly function with your hand (of choice) you'll never look back on the decision.
    Oh or you can get more ram so you can keep the porn yet still game.

    My computer was running slow for a while but than I added a gig of RAM and it's working great now.
