My mom has a Dell Dimension 4500S. For the last few months it has been sslllooooowwwwww! Start the computer then sit down to read a magazine. Once it's started, double click the icon to launch a program and go cook dinner. I have taken as much of the spyware as I could get off it, and she has burned all of her photos to some discs, and the hard drive is half empty. I have defragged the hard drive a couple of times. Turns out, this thing only has 128K of RAM! Why did it appear to move faster last year?

I order a 1 GB memory card to put in the computer. It should arrive tomorrow. I hope it helps. What I think will really help will be to reinstall Windoze.
