Just a friendly reminder.

If you haven't or don't clean out the dust in your computer you should.open the case and clean all the fans take the fan and heat sink off the CPU chip clean it and any other heat sinks that may be on your board.I use a Soft bristle brush to clean mine i take mine all the way apart including the power supply.

When dust builds up on the fans and the fan and heatsink it doesn't cool the system and CPU chip which in turns slows down your system and degrades the performance.you can have a 3.4 HT P4 Processor with 2 gigs of RAM and the dust can make it slow down.Also if it is a 3.0 or higher and especially a AMD (they run real hot) it can burn up the chip and board.

So if you haven't cleaned yours DO it if you can't and know someone who can other than a computer shop have them do it.computer shops charge to much for anything.you would be suprised of the difference it will make in your system.

Mine was slowing down past couple of weeks.cleaned it out and now she's back up to snuff.i try and do it every 3 to 6 months.I just hate doing it i end up with parts scattered everywhere.LOL

Then my dogs try and run off with parts because I sit on the living room floor and do it.
