Hi, guys. I got same problem with you. I bought my Dell inspiron last Christmas. It worked sharp at the first few months, but got slow after that. It took about 15 mins to start up. I can even walk away and brew my coffee during waiting! I even thought about reinstall my computer! My friend recommended the software tuneup360 and Norton systemwork. I tried both. Norton did look really powerful and could do lots of thing, but it was too difficult for me and too expensive, while Tuneup360 is my type. I just need to click one big “fix now” button and get my computer fixed. Now my computer takes only 30 sec to start up.

I don’t know why. Everybody is talking registry cleaning now. It seems your computer can be faster if you clean registry, so I try the tuneup360. It is not free, but it will give a free license if I agree to do a customer survey. I do feel my computer runs faster after that.

Did you ever notice it is always the monitor that receives the wrath and not the box under the table? People are frustrated at the visual manifestation of the problem and not the source of the problem itself.

I should know. I used to work for a company that sold overhead dynamic message signs you find in subway systems around the country. People yell at the sign saying something wrong.

Hmmm..interesting that Intel should run this survey. Perhaps they missed a question – what chips power these devices which have been receiving these heaps of praise? Oh, btw, the iPad doesn’t seem to receive similar accolades. Wonder why.

To be fair, it is not only the chips but more importantly, also the software that makes us wait. And am glad that Intel being the chips leader is sensitive to hourglass syndrome. Now I’d like to see if Intel can make chips that do not contribute to this syndrome.

I had done it once when my pc is not responding accurately, but not to the extent that I will break my pc. You break it, you buy one again. What about swearing your ISP for giving a slow net connection? I saw a lot of people swearing these companies.
