Hi

I am having real problems with my computer. It's got 64 mb ram, Cyrix P200+
chip plus a 33.6 k modem (internal). 40 gig hdd Seagate I think.

This beast has got slower and slower over the last few months. Most
especially noticeable on the net. The hdd keeps thrashing and while it is
doing that nothing else happens. Web pages won't load, applications won't
open, mouse basically freezes or jerks across the screen. Have tried
memcache but no appreciable difference. When first started it generally
shows 11.9 mbytes free ram, Paging file useage 95.5 mbyte. When going
through the options in memcache it shows (average) physical memory free 10/
physical memory usage 52/ user resources free 42/ GDI resources free 64.
Have used memcache wizards to try to get a good optimum but no luck. I
really think my problems lie in the hdd thrashing so much and don't know how
to stop it. Any ideas here please?

ta muchly

Paul
