My existing PC was brought through a friend’s friend of my wife, and apparently it’s a DIY unit. We had been experiencing slow processing speed recently as more software program had been installed due to study & work needs (even for start-up & shut-down). We must insert our thumb-drive (newly purchased) before start-up otherwise its will not be able to operate if it’s inserted when the PC is running (a high speed device had been detected, do you want to use it as a slow speed device?).

Since there wasn’t much information & we are also not an expert in PC. I had tried to attach photos taken from my PC hardware but failed. Therefore, I can only write all information saw on the board (best that I can provide).

Hopefully someone can help us by advising whether our PC can be upgrade to a much faster system (maybe a Pentium)?

Following are the information available;

1) Processor:

Intel (M)© 02
Celeron ® 2.40GHz / 128 / 400
SL6W4 China
5406B077
9418A127
1145

2) Processor Base:

Linkstar
PGA478

3) HDD:

Maxtor
DiamondMax Plus 8
40GB ATA / 133

4) Some information on Motherboard:

AGP 8X
DDR400
ATA133
FSB800
P4561
USB2.0 5.1CH ASROCK

Thank you.
