[QUOTE="Buck, post: 8724976, member: 591582"] All the big stuff is here. Just waiting on some small stuff. I still have to buy windows 10....unfortunately. I just spent 5-6 hours last night cleaning out a windows 10 laptop (cheap one) and made it literally like 4x faster. Memory upgrade, deleted like every non-essential program, removed all of the updater services. For some reason this computer had 4 audio drivers running at once. Idk. Don't ask me. Got rid of all that crap. It's bad when you have 8gb of memory and your computer is using 3.9 without a single program open, and about 30% cpu usage. Both Dell and Microsoft like to be parasites. And it now has 16 gb of memory. I didn't know an i5 rated at max 2.4 ghz would spike up to almost 3 ghz with factory settings. Idk if that's right, I didn't change anything on that front. Oh yeah, don't use McAfee. Ever. Please, your computer will thank you. [/QUOTE]
