I really get angry. Rather of good configurations sometimes due some products or viruses it gets slower so i keep on tracking changes in the speed and performance of my pc in leisure by using the tools such as disk cleanup, defragmentation, MMC etc.

my computer is built for performance and I run a defrag every week to help optimise the performance of my computer. most people are not fully aware of the potentials of the utilities that are integrated into your windows operating system. Failing that. if the problems still arise it could be down to faulty hardware.

my computer is quite slow. i became impatient when my computer takes longer than expected. but after working as an intern in the it department of a telecommunications company i tend to become more patient and just wait for my computer.

If it's slow all of the time there must be something wrong, may be a virus or spyware, in extreme cases it may needs to be formatted and operating system re-installed, hardware problems usually don't make computer slow it will have more drastic effects.

Memory Stick for Computers - This is RAM
Hi Oh!!! I hate it with a vengance!!! There are things you can do to speed them up.... I got hold of some more memory which helped to speed it up a little.

Amazing coincidence! Today my comp has been literally freezing up on me! I was making a card for my fiance with ImageREady and it was sooooo slow I felt like swearing at it! It seems OK now, but I've closed most applications and just have firefox open!

Me, I don't get very angry. I am a very patient person. But my partner really gets very angry -- he throws or slams away the mouse then goes away, but not for long as he is a computer addict. P.S. That's why I always have an extra mouse. :)
