I gave my grandmother my first PC...Dell XPST600 a whopping 600 MHz.....You can make a 600 mhz processor run faster then a 1 ghz processor by turning off all the crap that is running in the background as long as the 1 ghz processor has the crap running......
Do you know what you have running in the start up?
