Slow laptop

[mightymouse]

dell is notorious for cheap everything so i would try taking out the rams and replacing it with something different if you can get your hands on some. I had a xps one and was so surprise how quick it was as soon as i replaced the samsung rams that were in there. i even replaced it with cheap corsair ones so might be something to try

Will take apart the laptop then and check

In reference to an earlier point (I hope I'm not trolling here) I would certainly check that any seeming superfluous partitions don't have any recovery data on before zapping them

Toshiba lappys are shocking for providing loads of useless apps as well - I normally uninstall them, defrag you drive/partitions - empy temp folder, set virtual memory to manage itself and perhaps run something like WISE registry cleaner for win7??
