Short answer - assuming you are running an xp or a p4, replace your mobo and ram. You should see a fairly big improvement. A new mobo will also give you room to upgrade your processor in the future.

i am running xp with a p4 chip. i guess the only solution is to change motherboards.

thanks for the advice.
