I'm just wondering..but how do i overclock my PC? i had it for a year..It's a Compaq computer and it's SLOW now. it's a 512 mb computer with a 160gb hard drive , and 3400+ AMD Athlon 64 Processor. So can i do it or no...? also I heard that there's a Computer called...The Mac Pro? or something like that? like 16 gigs of RAM and 1 terabyte of space? Cause if it is...Then can someone send me screenshots + the Release date of This computer in Canada? Thanks Guys

Not sure about the Mac Pro having 16 gigs of ram but i have heard of the system.

Guides on the net are the best place to learn how to overclock. However as your PC is a Compaq and not custom built you will probably find the part of the BIOS for overclocking has been locked so you cannot overclock.

You Could upgrade that 512mb ram a bit

Yeh like another 512mb

Also have you checked for malware which could be making it slow ?

If you want to check click PCHF Prework below and post logs in a new thread within the Hijackthis Logs forum. Then the security team will check for malware.
