Yeah a few of us are not. But most of them are.  :mrgreen:

Just remember the new saying Roco,

I may not be as good as I once was.

But I am good once as I ever was.  ;)

nice quote Tommie, just give me a warm bed and a weeks notice , and I am ready willing and able  ;):haha:

Hi bookabooka from the UK  :icon_thumleft: a special wellcome to the forum , as we are a bit out numbered at the moment ,  :lol:

laptop upgrading is not worth the effort and cost IMHO

are you running Xp home ?

don't think of overclocking as battery life and temperature will be a big problem,

you seem very short of ram memory( 33.4MB free ) 512Mb  is nice for Xp , have a look on

free del . normally next day if you order AM,

SVCHOST.EXE  is a essential part of windows , so don't try and remove it . I have 5 running , 

what antivirus and firewall are you running, as Norton and zone alarm  :evil1:

will bring most laptops to a near stand still

for a laptop I would suggest ,AVG free and  Sygate 5.5

Regards Roco  UK

bookabooka if you want some little speed tweaks just for the computer read here.

And on running processes I only have my AVG free and Microsoft anti-spyware running in my background. Besides essential window items.

Have you checked in start*run*msconfig*enter*start up tab. The others only slow me down, and they will start on prompt.

Just some some hints.  ;)

Good afternoon TMT'ers...temporarily using my Cox connection...I've 'forced' the dynamic IP to set a different gateway/IP and we'll see.

TI couldn't resist posting the download speed I just got at dlewis23-2's mirror just now..I don't want to change my 'signature' so I'll just paste it...I

'm not cruisin' for a bruisin' nor wanting to get into discussions about *why* I can only use 1MB at that site..as it's SO close..it reads my speed at an unreal rate if I try more than 1MB and won't run...I get a 'special message' instead :laugh:

If you stop some of those from booting at start up, it will run faster, and start up much faster.  :wink:
