Hi Guys
it seems that somewhere after my last set of updates my system has
slowed dramatically, e.g. it can take a minute or more to switch between
applications. My googling has lead me to believe it's related to an nVidea
based graphic card on the system which if I check shows the 173 driver
active. I do have all visual effects turned off. I forget if the card is based
on a series 6 or 7 geforce chip but I should be able to figure that out
when I can take a closer look or is there another way I can get the
specifics in the system itself? Also any ideas how to make it snappier. I'm
actually considering buying a non nVidea based card to replace and am
also wondering what probs I may run into there. My local computer store
has an ATI 3650 and I don't think I've heard of any caveats with ATI cards
so maybe that would make a good replacement if it comes to that?
