What spec is your PC now?
What operating system is it running?
What sort of software are you running on it?

you can speed up a computer a lot just by getting rid of crap thats never used and running cleaner/reg cleaner/optimisers etc etc, but once you have done all that and you want more speed then one of the cheapest ways to get it is more RAM, you can never have enough RAM! :D

As said More Ram, Assuming PC is not too old.

Hi moji2107,

Try this:

there is a free system scanner that will tell you what you need - age is not too much of a problem as they still sell EDO SIMMs!

best regards,

Software method:

Uninstall any unused software.
Disable any chat/file sharing programs running at boot (use autoruns (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx))
Clean all temp files (use ATF-Cleaner (http://www.atribune.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=25&Itemid=25))
Use the free Glary Utilities (http://www.glaryutilities.com/gu.html) to backup then clean your registry.


Hardware method (other than more RAM):

Reinstall OS (after a full reformat) then only install necessary programs.
or
Buy a new PC.
