Recently got me a Compaq Evo 510 small form factor system. Even though it has a P4 running at 2.4 GHz and 512 MB of DDR memory and a 533 FSB this machine is slow and I'm running Windows 2000 SP4 as that is what it came with. My copy of XP came with my Dell so it stays with the Dell - will not work on other machines -OEM copy.

So anyone know how to get this thing running better?

I've already tweaked the BIOS settings. Everything is running on Ultra DMA mode.

Thanks in advance...

No worries, Mike. Sounds like your machines gone into overdrive.

currently running a 1993 Compaq D-510 EPC SFF, 2.4Ghz with 1Gb of DDR Ram.


Did You have a time machine back then ? 2.4 GHz and DDR-RAM in ´93 smells like that.
