Yo Marcus,
Got a technical question for you since I have one of your companies lovely machines. It's a little older computer, maybe 2-3 years old, but it's slow as heck. Like really slow. We don't really use it for a whole lot, looking at office docs and browsing the internet. I noticed when we bought it it was kinda slow loading stuff so I had to disable MSFT One Drive, that helped a bunch.
When I open the task manager I noticed that the CPU is not being taxed but the HDD and memory are. So there is plenty of space on the HDD (I don't think its a SSD), but the memory is +95% and the disk is high as well. Do you think I'm just low on memory and it's using virtual memory, which causes everything else to slow? I looked at everything running and there doesn't seem to be a bunch of crap there to slow it down and I've even disabled a lot of unnecesary background programs but it hasn't seemed to help.
As I recall this machine has about 8 GB of RAM, I can look it up but it was a decently powered machine when I bought it or so I thought. It wasn't terribly expensive, around $500. May just be time for a new one but I thought 5 years was a pretty good benchmark and I know I'm not at that point yet.
