My imedia M821 is very slow, can it be upgraged or is it to old?

Click on this Packard Bell Support Download link,

http://www.packardbell.co.uk/pb/en/GB/content/download

Click on - Link to the old page - to the right.

Click on DESKTOP
Click on iMedia (2004-2005)
Click on Driver
Click on Xp

Click on the appropriate graphics driver file, ATI_R480_Chipset.exe,
OR,
Radeon _xpress200_811.exe

Download the Execute file (.exe), and install it.

(I would also download, and install the ATI_Catalyst_8630.exe
It's the 'control panel')

I checked the Samsung site for this mp3 player with Firefox with IE Tab and Chrome and found no firmware updates for this device. Sorry, I don't think there is an update for this devices.

Howdy. unless you are doing nothing but very basic word processing, that computer will not run most modern programs well or at all. There is no way to speed it up enough to match current applications. A variety of faster machines are available for as little as 200 dollars. You can keep your mouse, keyboard and monitor and just replace the tower, or get all new for just a little more. walmart, tigerdirect dot com or overstock dot com have a bunch of deals. It's cool that it still works, though. you must keep it pretty clean. Farmerbear at FixYa

once u upgrage to 4.05 u cannot access the download games

u have to modify using another software

This is normal. USB 1.0 is a lot slower than USB 2.0...why are you using USB 1.0 on a system that has Vista x64? Is it because of the device? Change the device...

yes, you can providing it is the same family, ie ddr2888 or 553 ect but might slow machine down, It is always better to do an exact match,

you have to clean your hard drive by disk cleaning utility then remove all the unwanted programes then defragment the disk and scan for the viuses

After reading a ton of posts you may be correct, your board is dying or is dead.
An easy way to get your data off your old Hd to your new Hd would be to connect it directly into the new PC internally.
Just like you would a new drive only you would set the old drive as a slave. Here is your 3034 link.

The motherboard in this 3034 is Gigabyte, GA-8SIML-NF7, shown at this link: http://support.packardbell.com/uk/item/index.php?i=spec_columbia5p&ppn=P842025601
There is almost no chance of you finding this board its just too old. There are boards at this link that will handel all of your imedia 3034 parts, motherboards.
