Heya.
Some of you may recognise me. I'm the guy who's PC kept lagging up for
no reason.
Well, now I've spotted something else. It still lags up every now and
then (I'm gonna give it a real good clean on the inside again, sometime
soon) but it really shouldn't lag so much.

Mainly when playing games. I've noticed it runs a lot slower on my
2.54Ghz (992mb ram - supposed to be 1gb, might be something wrong here
too) than it does on my friends laptop, at: 1.2Ghz, with 700 odd mb
ram.
Now, I understand laptop hardware is designed differently, and for
different purposes... But all the same, mine should at least run at the
same speed?

I'm pretty sure that... Something on my PC isn't performing correctly,
or to its full potential.
I only have 30 processes running at the moment (inclurding firefox and
MSN) and CPU is at 4%. Reacing about 17 - 11% when I type.
When I open task manager it rockets to 100%, but goes back down. when I
do prety much anything it goes high. Even just moving the mouse takes
it to 20%.

I dunno, maybe it's normal, but I'm pretty sure that something's not
working right.
Currently, my commit charge is 267M / 2389M and is roughly the same (a
bit lower) on startup... I don't know if that's normal either.

Anyway, I'm just looking for a few tips to see how I can make sure my
comp's working correctly, and how to change it if not.

Thanks.

Isn't your CPU overheating? Try looking for RMClock utility to find out if
your CPU isn't throttling.
Also, scan for virii, spyware, etc. Try some benchmarks (like Sandra) and
test your components, which have low performance (memory or CPU).

heya
I'm gonna run a memory test in a sec.

And yes, I think the problem is that my CPU is overheating.
However, sometimes, when it's not overheating (or shouldn't be - this
is literally 10 minutes after its been turned on) some programs still
lag, and it doesn't get any better.
I didn't have any viruses or spyware/adware last time I checked (about
a week ago) and I had the same problem before that checkup.

I'll get back to you after the memtest.

(Just another thing... Could it be because my CPU is running at 133Mhz
clock speed?)
