Hi all, I am not sure whether I am in the right place here or not.But I just want to know how to easily speed up my computer because it runs desperately slow. I am running windows Xp which is about two years old. Thanks so much!

List your system specs.

If it's a pre-built computer (ie. Dell, Gateway, HP) it can not be overclocked, but you could add more memory (usually that's the most effective), install a faster CPU, or add a better video card.

If you can supply more information you will get better answers.
