rammolo Posted December 18, 2005 CID Share Posted December 18, 2005 Hi, 768 MB Ram seems pretty good, consider defragmenting your hard drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asubaseball727 Posted December 22, 2005 Author CID Share Posted December 22, 2005 Im not sure, my computer seems to start up slowly, and then freezes. I normally just use AIM, Firefox, and iTunes. I have defragmented and ran ccleaner recently. I don't think I have many processes running either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
organ_shifter Posted December 22, 2005 CID Share Posted December 22, 2005 If you really want to know how much memory is needed for today's games/apps, read the following link. Here: How Much RAM Do You Really Need? As far as defragmenting goes, the Windows version isn't all what it should be. I use Diskeeper 10 Professional Premier. It's a must have tool and completely destroys the 8 & 9 versions. I don't even run manual defrags anymore because Diskeeper 10 Professional Premier keeps everything in perspective for me, and it does it better than ever before.

bigw Posted December 22, 2005 CID Share Posted December 22, 2005 What about spyware? Do you run any sort of cleaner? I have a p4 2.4ghz w/ 512 ram and it run good even with all of my games. What about what is running in your start up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asubaseball727 Posted December 22, 2005 Author CID Share Posted December 22, 2005 Well I run 3 anti-virus ( which is probably unnecessary ): Microsoft onecare, Kaspersky anti-virus, and avg free. I have spyware removers such as the yahoo toolbar, adaware, spybot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdawnaz Posted December 22, 2005 CID Share Posted December 22, 2005 disable all but one antivirus...running more than one antivirus slows ur system down and they all end up battling one another...one of these other members can tell u the exact reasons...i just know it's not good and actually bad to run more than one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asubaseball727 Posted December 23, 2005 Author CID Share Posted December 23, 2005 I have Kaspersky 5.0.326, but when I turn off my other firewalls, that annoying windows alert comes up telling me I don't have a firewall. Kaspersky does come with one right? And how can I get windows to recognize it as one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaspersky does come with one right? And how can I get windows to recognize it as one? Kaspersky 5 doesn't have a firewall. You'll need the Kaspersky Internet Security 2006 beta for that. See here: http://forum.kaspersky.com/index.php?showforum=16 If you want to get rid of the security alert, open the security center, look under the firewall option, and click the link that says "recommended option" (or something like that). Once the options are displayed, check the bottom box that informs the system not to monitor your firewall because you have one of your own already.

FallowEarth Posted December 23, 2005 CID Share Posted December 23, 2005 Start, run, type services.msc. Find Security Centre and disable it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien383 Posted December 23, 2005 CID Share Posted December 23, 2005 Hey guys, you really don't need antispyware if you are running a legal copy of windows. Just download and use the microsoft antispyware beta version and you will be surprised how much it finds on your computer! Also, you should never run more than one antivirus program on any system. This is really bad news for the little registry guys trying to make all that stuff work. You probably have registry crashes a lot. That is the kind when you are working and the computer just stops responding. Remember that time? For the average gamer and user; nobody actually needs more than 1GB of ram unless you just like spending money like me: Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe w/Athlon 64 FX-57 Two SATA 120GB Raptors 2GB Ram Two Nvidia 7800sli Creative Soundblaster X-fi Platinum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
