Lol a dual core Pentium D costs SGD$1000 just for the processor alone! Wow that's abt the cost of a good computer. Haha no choice but to wait till NS then get money to upgrade this rig. But it's better than having error messages pop up every now and then! Can surf can alr. (no offense to Daryl and irene though haha). Hmm there are many basic things to keep ur comp in good health. Download a good firewall, antivirus and ctrl alt del regularly to see if any rogue programs are present. Download harddisk junk file cleaners and registry cleaners to clear up those resident junk. Haha and oh defrag regularly. It helps! Check for spyware too.
