[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1470407"] The real problem here is that you are using a really old computer. Technology on the web and in modern programs has progressed to demand more resources than that computer has. This could be why it seemed very fast in 2007 and not so much five years later. Thanks for mentioning that you have 150GB free but I'm not sure I see how that could be, your OS version and applications should be taking up considerably more than 10GB, and that's before we even get into things like "your stuff." I also am not quite clear on why you didn't use the links provided above to look up exactly what model you have, and thus determine how much RAM your machine can hold. If it's anything like my 2007 BlackBook, the answer is 3GB max. In any event, I would say that getting more RAM will certainly help, but its a band-aid. What you really need is a newer machine.
