Question

my computer is too slow i have pentium 4 3.0 ghz and 512 mb of ram..is my processor not good?

Answer

Hey Awais,

Your processor is starting to get a bit dated. However, it really depends on what you are trying to do with your computer. If you use your computer for email, web browsing, word processing, etc then your CPU should be fine and more than fast enough. If you are trying to play new games or edit audio/video, then your processor could be causing you trouble. I would suggest trying out many of the free tips on this site to try to get your PC running fast again. If you have some money, a memory upgrade to 1GB or 2GB would help a lot if your motherboard can handle it.
