Problem is not with the machine - problem is with the OS. You keep
mucking with MS it's going to keep running slower from the day you
install. Suggest you try Linux instead -


And using the computer will be slower from day one because you'll have
to spend more time taking care of the OS.


With Linux? Are you kidding? One of the biggest advantages of Linux over
Windows is that you're not having to constantly tweak stuff to keep it
running at 100% efficiency.


Now I _know_ that you're bull****ting.
