How do I make my Computer faster? My computer is at least 5 years old. Let the specs do all the talking. Windows XP HP Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.06 GHz, 960 MB of Ram Not sure what that all means but I know one thing and that my ram is 1 Gig compared to today's computers and laptops which are AT LEAST 4 gigs. I can't even play MapleStory as my computer just crashes if I go to towns, Ch 1 FM, and map with monsters. Seriously, is my computer hopeless? Should I just buy a new one? I want to make it faster because I want to play the RuneScape 07 and I'm not sure my computer can even handle that.
