computer is slow
Hi guys :D
i need to have my computer 24/7 but lately my computer has been working REALLY SLOW is it possiple to fix that without shuting down the computer my computer is 750 Mhz i have 512 mb ram i am using Mandrake 10.0 KDE 3.2 hmm.... i think it is the RAM is it possiple to restart the RAM? :p |
reset
why not just reboot the computer?
750MHZ and 10.1 = slow if using KDE |
Hi,
I'd start poking around and seeing what services are running which you don't need - check 'Services' in Mandrake Control Centre. You could also have a peek at what's running at the moment and what sort of load the system is under when 'idle' - open a text console and type Code:
top 750MHz won't be lightning quick, but it should be more than acceptable - even using KDE (I've recently installed Mdk 10.1 / KDE on an ancient Celeron 300 and performance was reasonable - quite surprised me) |

Did you also edit /etc/sysconfig/harddisks
and uncomment the indicated lines? |
