my laptop is really old. i got it way back in 2008, and it still works surprisingly but ive noticed just how slow it runs now. I just use it for watching youtube and playing a really old online MMO so it does its job, but its getting so slow. When idle its RAM usage is at 40% and despite trying plenty of fixes nothing seems to work.
when i check the resource monitor it says svchost.exe is using the most ram. I have tried ending all the services it allows me to and it makes no difference. I even restored my laptop to its factory setting and the RAM usage is still high. it goes as high as 70% when im surfing the net.
I know didly squat when it comes to computers so im sorr if this is a stupid question, but is there anyway to the high RAM consumption, or is it simply that my laptop is an OAP now?
here are my specs:
model: aspire 6920
processor: intel core duo cpu t5750 @2.00ghz
RAM: 3gb
32bit
