Final Straw
The Fly
Hey, I'm thinking of getting a laptop and I just have a question about computer speed. What decides how quick your pc operates?
The pc I have at the moment was pretty cheap and whenever I have a load of windows, or applications open, it can slow down a lot. For example, if I have numerous youtube windows open it will slow, or if I have a number of applications open like itunes, mozilla, windows media player, it will slow. I know that any pc will slow to a certain degree but my one can slow to a crawl sometimes.
Is it memory space on a pc, RAM, hard drive space, etc that decides how quick a pc can run? (As ya can tell, I'm not the most intelligent on this matter.) What I should be looking out for when trying to decide if a laptop is fast or not?
Thanks for any help..
