I have an old Dell Dimension 8300. As stated it is old but it holds up... However this past year (learning about P2P and what not) it is becoming gradually slower. I got it given (for free 
well we donated to charity because they wanted rid of it and didn't want the ca$h) and it's not that bad. But it is becoming slower and other people use apart from me.
It has a Pentium IV chip at 3 Ghz and 512MB Ram. It runs XP (Setup 2) and it has a pretty small HD (74 GB) which is very nearly full (70GB full).
I play CS 1.6 on it (Steam version) and online multiplayer is fine. The graphics hold up (Nvidia something or rather at 128 MB)
I am now defraggling it (it is going to take ages) and I now it's not possible to OC the pentium (Dell Bios
).
So do any of you have any suggestions as to how i could make this computer faster?:angel:
(I will post up some CPUZ shots but I am using defrag atm)
