Default Making my PC run faster

I only got 2 PCI slots and i don't even think that the processor can be upgraded so anything to make it run faster I don't need gaming faster but it would be preferable but I'd at least like to hear from people who know what their talking about that my computer just sucks too much

a pci vid card would take the graphics load off your processor and that would help. more memory would help too.
what are your specs

I would definitely add another 512MB RAM. That will make your PC must faster, and RAM is cheap. It might cost you $50 for a new RAM stick.

If you can't afford that, you could always check my signature for great programs to make your PC run faster.
