I managed to fix my grandparent's laptop. I disk cleaned it and disk defragged it and the disk cleanup had found 2,056,172kb (Aprox 2gb). I later found it ran much quicker seeing as it had never used disk cleanup or defrag since it's purchase 4 years ago. I later found that it's fan still was extremely loud, I shut the laptop down, opened it up and blew the fan with compressed air and literally a huge amount of dust came out. Now, I am writing this on it and I can truely see the performance difference. Now, I am not pissed off by it's slow speed, lag, crap performance, heat and loud fan.


Thanks for this beautiful siggy Blubo! =D

Defragmentation is a pain in the arse... On that matter I really want a mac. I just did a format on this computer... I'm really impressed by the speed of a clean system :P

If you like gaming, don't get a mac. It's alot cheaper and better to get a pc.

My grandma was using an IBM tower from 1992 up until last year lol. She now has a Dell that's less than an year old. I remember when I was gonna go visit her years ago and found out she had a comp, so I was gonna bring Guild Wars so I could play on it and when I saw it... I QQ'd. At least she upgraded to Windows 95 :P

Current Games: Borderlands and Torchlight. (Canceled Aion)

I know all about the pros and cons of a mac... I'd like a macbook because I want a solid laptop where I can work on, plus you can install windows via bootcamp... (I hear the best machine for windows is a mac - many tell me that)

I'll never for the life of me understand people who will overpay for a mac, and then buy and install windows. It just strikes me as pure stupidity when you could buy a PC for much less that will do the same things as a mac, COMES WITH WINDOWS and will cost a lot less.
