i bought one more system last week which is a used one.. it has got Pentium Celeron Processor 733 MHz.. it has 160 MB (128 MB(133 MHz) + 32 MB(100 MHz) in 2 slots) of Ram.. it has got a 6 GB hard disk and have onboard sound and graphics.. i dont feel a good performance from it.. is celeron lower in performance compared to P III..? or it may be of a lesser RAM..? i want to know the difference between celeron and other pentium processors..
Celerons are usually 'Pentiums with their wings clipped'. They usually have less cache and lower FSB's.
Run a spyware cleaner like [google]Spybot Search & Destroy[/google], defrag your hard drive and make sure you don't have any viruses running in the background.
Which operating system are you running? Assuming it's Windows XP, my suggestions are as follows: If cost effective for you, up the RAM to at least 256MB. Windows XP and it's associated programs are pretty memory hungry. You can purchase PC100 or PC133 RAM but you wouldn't get any performance boost buying the latter. Moving on to Windows itself, I would suggest you defragment the hard drive and remove any un-needed startup programs. Cleaning the registry using a program such as CCLeaner might help as well
