TimPawlak Posted July 13, 2006 CID Share Posted July 13, 2006 CPU should not lag... thats a good one... 3 gb ram? wow... scan for viruses and spyware. Also, make sure you have the most recent security updates for XP Thanks, Tim Pawlak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted July 13, 2006 CID Share Posted July 13, 2006 what is your CPU usage when you download something? and are you using firefox or IE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nos7667 Posted July 13, 2006 Author CID Share Posted July 13, 2006 Ill try both... Firefox: 95% :S Internet Explorer v6: 90% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted July 13, 2006 CID Share Posted July 13, 2006 sounds like spyware.. it shouldnt really lag.. the only time that I have seen something like that is with a bad stick of ram in the motherboard.. That was on an 754 Athlon 64.. so you might want to check your ram.. Has the computer ever not lagged with 3 gigs in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
