That sounds like a DSL speed which should not be dependent on other users in your area unlike cable. The internet is busier on nights and weekends so just slower in general depending on which sites you visit.

Go to "start".."run"....type in msconfig and check out your settings under "startup" and uncheck anything that might be slowing your computer down.\n\nHope this helps

2 - 5 seconds ain't really that bad.  Some people complain when it takes 10 seconds to start up.  But if you're really that upset, do a disc cleanup (start -> all programs -> accessories -> sytem tools -> disc cleanup.)  After you do that, do a defrag (same steps as before but when you click on system tools -> defragment.)\n\nIf you've never done the disc cleanup or defrag before, they could take a LONG time.  First time I did a defrag it took over two hours.\n\nThese two things are free.  You didn't say how much RAM you have but if you can add more, that will also help speed things up.  If drive C has only 15GB I'm guessing you might be running 256MB RAM.  See if you can upgrade to 512 or even 1024MB (1 gigabyte) if your computer can handle it.

If your computer is running slowly, I suggest you click the link provided below to download, read, and follow instructions in this guide.  Unless there is a problem with your hardware (dying HDD, for example) then I GUARANTEE reading this guide will help.  Your system will be faster than it was when you first pulled it out of the box and set it up.\n\nhttp://www.tweakguides.com/TGTC.html

You can use higher, it will slow down to 2700. Can't use lower. The test is does it boot, and does the computer recognize the ram, If that is yes, you are ok. Any combination will not harm the pc, it will only not work or complain.

I Suggest you If You can Format your PC. Do it Once.\nIt is the best way to optimize or Speed up PC.\n\nThe other things which I suggest to install a good PC optimizing software. I like Tuneup Utilities. You can have its trial free for 30 days Just search Google.\n\n\nSome Tips to Speed it up is.\n\n* Remove items from your startup.\n* Decrease the colour depth to 16 bit if it is 32 bit.\n* Swith on to Windows Classic Theme.\n* Dont use any image on Desktop if you want maximum performance.\n\nIf you find any Difficulty in performing any step than you can post a message at my Yahoo 360 page. whose address is given in My Profile.

Hi there\n\nIf you are looking to increase the speed of your computer there are a number of things you can do.\n\nOne simply way is to check that your hard drive is well defragmented. This process tidies up files on your hard drive and and makes it run faster. This is because your computer can access these files quicker. To defragment your hard drive, click your start menu go to Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragmenter. Select the dirve you wish to defragment and click on the Defragment button. The time is takes to complete this procedure varies depending on your computer's specifications.\n\nIf this doesn;t improve performance, you could try have a look and see how many programs you have starting up when your computer starts. The more programs you have running, the slower your computer may become, depending on how many RAM (memory) you have in your computer. Check the contents of your startup folder in your start menu by going to programs > Startup and looking at its contents. To delete items from here, click on them with your right mouse button and selecy delete from the menu that appears. Click on the Recycle Bin no your desktop to delete it from there too. Not all programs will place a shortcut in the startup folder so you may need to access the options menu for these programs and look for any settings relating to the program's startup.\n\nIf this doesn;t solve the problem, check your computer for viruses if you have virus scanning software installed. Also, check for spyware and adware software by using a spyware and adware remover. If you don;t have these programs, you will need to download them. Search Google for virus and anti spyware and adware programs.\n\nFinally, you may need update components inside your computer such as your memory, you may not have enough memory to run your programs efficiently. I would recommend at least 512 MB of memory if you are running windows xp. To check how much RAM you have, go to your start menu and click on control panel. If your control panel is in classic view, click on the system icon and it will show your system information, including the amount of RAM you have, for example 512 MB. If your control panel is in catagory view, click on Performance & Maintenance and then click System. This will show you the same information as explained above.\n\nHope this helps.\n\nScott

My advice would be:\n1.Perform disk cleanup\n2.Defragment hard disk drive\n3.Perform the chkdsk from stage 1 to 5\n4.Do a virus scan\n5.Check the virtual memory. Change to minimum 2095 and \nmaximum 4095 this will increase the speed of your computer.

well, a little more ram could help, but here are some other ways to make your startup and shutdown a little faster.  the reason it is so slow is because some programs startup automatically when windows start, but there are way to elminate the programs you don't want starting.  here are few articles on how to do it.\n\nhttp://help.cnet.com/speed_up_start_up/9602-12576_39-0.html?messageID=2508332&tag=tip-2508332&kw=speed+up+start+up\n\nhttp://help.cnet.com/speed_up_start_up/9602-12576_39-0.html?messageID=2505921&tag=tip-2505921&kw=speed+up+start+up

This is an open ended question. There are two ways you can proceed... one by upgrading the hardware that you are using like higher processor speed, more RAM etc. The other way is through software. \n* There are lot many things that you can do on  your existing installation to speed up your computer. Like there may be many background processes running that you may not be using on every boot.\n* You can increase the size of Virtual Memory to improve paging and the throughput.\n* If it is Win XP, 2000 or higher, there are services that you can stop from running every time you boot your system (Control Panel -> Adminstrative Tools -> Services).\n* There are softwares called Spywares that run in the background and eat up lot of resources. You can install Anti-Spyware on your system to clean up them.\n* If you have some knowledge of System Registry you can remove the items that you don't want that run every time your system boots.\n* If you are using any themes for your desktop, remove them.\n\nYou may have to look your computer from different directions and find exactly what is the reason your system is slow.

well If youput your PC into the Geo synchronous orbit it will definitely run faster. If you need more speed you can try interplanetary orbits.\nJust be sure to use more system fans as the temperatures are very high at such speeds.\n\nAlso you are advised to wear a helmet

Go into your CMOS and check its settings, just because it is capable of going 133 MHz, does not mean it is set to go that fast.  If you cannot up the speed in your CMOS, if it is not set correctly, you will have to get a manual so you can adjust the jumpers.\n\nThis also could be being cause by how you are installing it, you might want to purchase or borrow an external drive and use that for the installation.\n\nJohn B.

Do a defrag on your computer...\nClean disk...\nAlso they have RAM chips you can add to your computer which will make it run faster..

It depends on what you mean by speed.  If your computer seems to be running slow, the frist thing to do is to clean out all those junk files and old registry entries, I like using CCleaner, http://www.ccleaner.com/ and while it cannot make your computer faster TuneXP can make your computer "feel" faster by optimizing Windows, http://www.driverheaven.net/dforce/default.php after that there are a number of tweaks explained here, http://www.connectedinternet.co.uk/blog/_archives/2005/12/5/1434755.html and here, http://www.connectedinternet.co.uk/blog/_archives/2006/1/12/1658713.html, follow the instructions to the letter but TuneXP will have already applied some of those tweaks but not all of them.  Also, to get your PC booting faster, set your hard drive as the first boot device (through the BIOS) and then get BootVis, http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=664 BootVis was a program designed by Microsoft to cold boot Windows XP in less than 30 seconds (I got mine down to 25 seconds without disabling any major components/drivers).  Of course my PC is also faster than the average.\n\nUnless your motherboard supports it, you might be able to overclock your CPU (AMD processors are very overclockable in most cases) but if your motherboard doesn't support it, don't try it.  My Gigabyte motherboard came with EasyTune 5 so I used that to test overclocking and my Athlon 64 3700+ is overclocked to 2.6GHz (stock heatsink/fan) up from 2.2GHz.  It's fast...\n\nAlso, consider defragging your hard drive, either with Diskeeper (my personal favorite) or the one that is built into Windows, my personal opinion is that Diskeeper does a better job but it cannot defrag the paging file.  In order to defrag the paging file you will need to get a free program called PageDefrag, http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/PageDefrag.html which will be run at boot time.  The paging file cannot be defragged while you are in Windows.  Diskeeper is not free by the way but they do have the freeware Diskeeper Lite floating around out there, though it is no longer officially supported or available on the Diskeeper site, you really have to look for it.
