sloppy performance on win - which is the best tool to test the win


Recommended Posts

which is the best tool to test the win `?

background: in office my (windows) machine is so slow - this stops me allmost from workin

see the data:

Prozessor Pentium® Dual-Core CPU E5300 @ 2.60GHz

Memory 2,00 GB RAM
Systemtyp 64 Bit-Operating system
number of Prozessorkernels 2

graphic: Intel® G33/G31 Express Chipset Family

memory
Harddrive 149 GB
Partition (C has 102 GB free from (149 GB alltogether)


what can i do?

run some performance tests?

add more memory? -


love to hear from you

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.

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?

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

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.

Need a dvdrom.

This particular motherboard does not have enough fan plugs on it, so I also get a fan controller.

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
