My Emachine W5243 is getting slow.... When i first got it, it was fast as 2.4GHz but now it got slower as if it was a 1.6GHz.... Is it the AMD? i ask my cozin and he said it's mostly the processor and what kind of it is and he also said, "it's fast but it well get slow easily" espacially AMD processor..... So do i need a new CPU and A new Processor with a new power supply? It's gotten really slow and i feel like throwing it to the garbade can.... "-_-.... BTW this computer really **** with a 1GB ram and a weak processor.... I found a new computer better than emachine at http://promotions.newegg.com/intel/103010/index.html?cm_sp=Homepage_SL-_-intel103010-_-http%3a%2f%2fpromotions.newegg.com%2fintel%2f103010%2f270x120.gif

Your computer is running for sh-- because you probably have too many items starting up at boot time and running in the back ground. You have to go into your msconfig files and services,.msc files to turn off unnecessary operations. And virus programs are notorious for using up memory resources and turning computer into a snail. If you have one, get rid of it and stay off the p-rn sites.

It is not the cpu or power supply responsible for the issue. It is the user at fault for overloading the machine's resources. And a new computer will get just as bad if you continue to employ the same habits as you have with this unit.

All it takes is a powerfull enough motherboard with a matching BIOS.
Or you could buy this combo
