Slow running computer....

I would like to make my computer run faster but I don't have much to spend. Where should I start? I have already added another memory card to the previous one but I want more speed. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, have you tried cleaning your memory dumps? Cleaning memory dumps and clearing away unused files will speed up your system.

CCleaner is an excellent tool.

Download and run CCleaner from : http://www.ccleaner.com/download\

Spybot Search & Destroy <- Check for spyware.

Are you asking for ways to upgrade your computer? Or just ways to make your existing system run faster?

Free up some memory to make your pc run faster by hitting ctl+alt+delete and clicking the processes tab and getting rid of unneeded running processes. Google the process you want to end before ending it, deleting the wrong one may cause some undesired consequences. It's not a pc upgrade, but it's free.
