Improve PC Performance
Hi guys,
About 2 and a half years ago I bought a PC with the following components:
Lately, I am starting to notice that not everything is going as smooth as I wished it should. Here are my problems:
- Reasonably high ping*
- Slow internet browsing
- Very small intern memory (about 300gb)
* I live in an urban area, where we are limited to chose from only 1 internet provider. There's several computers and laptops connected to the modem, whenever somebody downloads all other PC's go very slow (resulting in high ping, making gaming impossible).
I'd like to ask you if you have any suggestions that might improve the computer. I cannot change my internet provider unfortunately :(
Thanks all!

It's not without a reason that a lot of business are switching to SSD also for their desktops and laptops. Time is money.
I can't imagine using a computer without any SSD. I just bought a Dell Inspiron 17 for my mother with 5400rpm hdd, it was just so frustrating to use. I put my 4 year old X25-M G2 SSD in it, and it always amazes me how much difference it makes. Even my mother who is mainly using facebook noticed it. Even with a small budget, a SSD makes the most difference.
Another example Dell Inspiron 6400 T5600, 2GB from early 2007. I am using it daily again with Windows 8, just because it has a SSD. It supports SATA 1. But the accesstimes make all the difference.
I switched from 5400rpm HDD to SSD like 6, 7 months ago. difference is cool for startup, then nothing. if you open and close apps often - yes, then it might be huge. but I tend to start pc, have it running all day long with my most used apps running in the background all the time. where's the difference then.
ofc I enjoy having SSD because of the faster startup, but it's not like it can stand up to tasks it couldn't before
If you keep all programs in memory of-course it doesn't matter much. Do you also keep your games in the background? When playing Battlefield it makes a huge difference while loading.
Even with SSD I/O is still the bottleneck now. Those high sequential speeds are nice with newer SSD but it's the 4K speed that really matters.
Your computer will feel a lot faster when you buy a SSD from Crucial/Samsung around 256GB Crucial MX100, Samsung 840 EVO, Samsung 840 Pro. I would also a buy a bigger harddisk like 1TB~4TB whatever you need.
Other problems, it's your internet connection or modem. You can buy something that supports QoS to limit traffic from other computers while downloading. Than you will have more bandwith available.

You think this case might still depress my cpu?
So you would change provider if u could?
You *could* get a 2nd connection (adsl, but perfectly fine for browsing & ping, especially in urban area) if you dont mind paying the extra €30.
Or get a router that allows u to limit annoying familymembers/roommates from downloading too fast or has good QOS options.
