The most importat thing is the model of the processor (ie, AMD QuadCore, Intel core2Duo, etc) and the amount of memory. The second point is the operating system do you use according the computer (ie Windows 7 - 32 bits, Windows 7 - 64 bits, etc)

Hi.

Right click on My Computer and choose properties. Give us a screenshot of the window that appears. This will give us the specs more clearly.

Those are the minimal resources... ¿X6 on Penium 4 with 1 Gb RAM and Windows Vista or XP? that's crazy. If you will buy a new computer, think on two or four processor at least, 4 Gb of RAM or more, and Windows 7 of course.

Oh yeah

I forget to mention after 2 year I remove all the heat sink compound from the CPU, Chipset, and also the graphics card clean it out and put silicon grease then also put silicon grease into the all the fan.

This is the way to service and clean out so that it will last a long time.

Thanks

Simon Yee Choong Yein:
Processor    Pentium(R) Dual-Core

DualCore is not the same than Core2Duo. A Dual Core means "two half processors" and Core2Duo is two real processor together. For work with CorelDRAW and similar programs, DualCore is not the best option

Simon Yee Choong Yein:
Total Virtual Memory    5.99 GB   
Available Virtual Memory    4.50 GB   
Page File Space    3.00 GB  

Only 3 Gb of Page File size for virtual memory (3 Gb  Physical Memory (RAM) +3Gb swap file) is not enough. If you have free space in your hard disk drive, increase the virtual memory as big is possible.

............

More important then the hardware itself, is the maintenance of Windows. A "clean" system is faster than other powerful computer. Less than 400 installed fonts, delete temporary files, etc
