Hi, Okay so you was expecting it to go faster, well that depends on a number of factors, remember if the system runs out of ram, it will start using virtual memory so it will swap a page of memory out to the harddisk so it can use that page of memory for a program etc hence that's why it slower, ok , but if the system has the right amount of memory when running a application you will not notice a speedup, your problem could be caused by spyware or infected files trying to access the internet etc hence a general slowdown, also look at the programs that are running , it could simply be that you got too many applications running in the background , so a faster processor is required, I suggest you look at what's getting loaded when your laptop starts up,
The best way to do that is goto the CMD shell and type msconfig,
now goto the startup tab and look at what's starting up here,
be carefull that you do not unselect something your system required to function correctly,
Not sure what the file does , look it up on the net, get a balance view of the the file if it sounds bad unselect and reboot, if the systems displays a error or somehing no longer works , go back into the program and select the previous applicaiton that you unselected.
Another thing you can do is , start up in safe mode by pressing the f8 key after the bios screen disappears, press it couple of times and a display should appear , now select safe mode,
Once windows has loaded , does it seem faster then I suggest you looked at what hasn't loaded, it may be a driver making it slow ?? Do a virus scan and spyware check now.
Anyway I hope that helps.
