QuickOldCar Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Any 64 bit operating system would struggle with only 2 gig memory. Memory is also being used for the onboard video. While the E5300 was no slouch when was created, it can not even compare the performance of the I5 or I7 quad cores You can look to see what is being used more in task manager, cpu or memory, my guess is memory. Running malwarebytes to ensure is no viruses could help.

requinix Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Run the WinSAT test (Control Panel > System > one of the links on the page), wait for it to finish, go into the detailed results, and post them here. So what are you trying to do that's so slow? Have much running at once? Lots of installed applications? Are you aware that a dual-core Pentium, 2GB RAM, and integrated graphics will not be very powerful?

Ch0cu3r Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) There is not much you can do with that spec unfortunately. If you do have money to spend then I would definatly recommend you add more memory, 2GB of memory is very low especially for a 64bit OS. You should have at least 4 GB or more. Depending on budget you could swap your mechanical harddrive for a 120GB solid state drive Edited May 26, 2015 by Ch0cu3r Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/296486-sloppy-performance-on-win-which-is-the-best-tool-to-test-the-win/#findComment-1512631 Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuickOldCar Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Instead of wasting money upgrading that pc maybe should opt a new one. If can plug a few items together and build your own.... I built a few of this exact barebones kits lately from tigerdirect and they were all extremely happy. Intel Core i5 4690 3.5GHz Quad-Core CPU/Asus H81M-PLUS mATX MB/2 x 4GB DDR3 1600 Adata XPG V1 Memory/1TB WD Blue 7200rpm SATA HDD/Ultra X-Blaster Pro Case w/650W PSUhttp://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=9687613&CatId=11845 $449 I also like adding the 120mm silent fans, is a 4 pack for $15 Cooler Master Silent Fan 120 SI2 - Case fan - 120 mm - blackhttp://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3190904&CatId=494 Need a dvdrom. ASUS Internal 24X DVD Burner - Compatible With Windows 8, Saves Over 50% Of Power Consumption, Disc Encryption II, Password Control, Hides Files Names, Friendly Interface (DRW-24F1ST)http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=8324537&CatId=89 $20 This particular motherboard does not have enough fan plugs on it, so I also get a fan controller. AeroCool X-1000 Strike-X-X1000 Fan Controller - Controls 5 Fans, LED, Supports Up To 25W Per Fan Channel, Turns Fans Off, Overheating & fail Alarm, 2xUSB 3.0 Ports, 2xAudio Portshttp://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4904466&CatId=501 $14 Will also need new OS. New Windows, or if want to be faster, save money, not get viruses and have no need for windows for gaming or special applications.....Install Ubuntu or Linux Mint Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/296486-sloppy-performance-on-win-which-is-the-best-tool-to-test-the-win/#findComment-1512635 Share on other sites More sharing options...
