Okay I've just about had it with my computer, I bought 1 1/2 years ago to do alot of web design and to get on the internet. So far, I can barely ever get anything done because it locks up so much.

The damn thing came with Windows ME which sucked beyond belief so I switched to 98. That sucked just as bad so I switched again to 2000 the week before last. Now it sucks worse than ever before, it locks up after about 5 minutes of browsing and I don't even dare going into photoshop or flash. Is there something I can do to make this thing run better or should I take it to a shop? Here's the specs

Compaq Presario 5000 Series
900 Mhz AMD Athlon
192MB memory (upgraded from 64 originally)
40 Gig HD
32MB graphics card (upgraded from pathetic 8mb card)
DVD/CDRW Drives

I'm thinking I'm going to do the smart thing and build a new computer considering the wealth of information I learned from kraftys post today. But I was hoping to get this one in better running condition so I could sell it on Ebay or use it as a workstation at my company. I know we got some smart guys on here so any help would really, really be appreciated. im dyin over here lol laugh :rolleyes:
