Vista suddenly lost performance!

I bought Vista Ultimate and when I installed it, it was as fast as
lightning. After 2 weeks, it was sloooooooow!

What might have happened?

Re: Vista suddenly lost performance!

I don`t understand it, I have a 3.4GHz Dual Core Intel Pentium D with 512MB
RAM, SATA etc. Can the RAM be my main problem? Or maybe my Graphics?

Thanx!

Re: Vista suddenly lost performance!

Yes you need more RAM - 1+ gig or 2+ gig better.

Re: Vista suddenly lost performance!

Vista is not a happy camper with only 512 MB of RAM. It needs a
minimum of 1GIG...

I would really suggest that you install and run CCleaner - Home

Its a great program and will really help you improve your performance.
