In Reply to: Seems to be an issue primarily with Firefox. posted by ghost of olddude55 on September 11, 2021 at 07:57:15:
A friend of ours has an old Dell All-in-One with an I3 and 4GB. It was running slower than molasses. With Windows 10, just loading the browser and 4 or 5 tabs, the system was using all the RAM and thrashing the cache.
I picked up an 8GB stick of RAM and a $40 SSD drive for $90 total and is singing and boots in less than 30 seconds. Her son thought she'd bought a new computer.
Anyway, I disagree with Inmate51. Disk drives can and do slowly go bad before they die all together. It all depends on where the bad sectors might be. If some apps load slowly or it takes forever to save a file, you can suspect the drive is dying. You could get an inexpensive SSD and clone the old drive. Samsung SSDs come with cloning software.
