My computer is a couple years old now, maybe 2.5 years old, and it's started slowing down from when it was new; an inevitable process if I'm not mistaken.
What I'm searching for is a way in which to boost performance, short of a drive reformat. I have my hard drive partitioned into 4 separate drives, C: is the Windows (XP) partition (40GB), with only it and the few poorly designed programs that won't allow themselves to be placed anywhere other than C:. D: is the games drive (50GB), nearly full. E: is the miscellaneous programs drive (50GB), nowhere near full. F: is the multimedia drive (50GB), pictures, music, videos, moderately full. Not sure if all that info's needed, but it can't hurt
I've defragmented all the drives with little effect, and am hoping for some additional suggestions to boost performance. Any suggestions would be most welcome
Thanks!
