Neo,
Although a new computer is always a nice thing, chances are good that the
hardware is not your problem.
Take a look at what software is loaded at startup and determine what can
be eliminated. Too often, the normal surfing we all do adds startup
"features" which bog down performance. Multimedia is the
biggest offender.
Also, as suggested, defrag is a good starting place to find increased
performance.
If you insist that it is hardware, Dell is a reasonable choice if you
don't want to DIY, as they use essentially off-the-shelf components that
are almost always industry standard. In other words, they use most or at
least many of the components you might choose for a DIY. (This from a DIY
from the early 80's; just bought my first "canned" box -- a
Dell.)
HTH,

I
apologize in advance for this somewhat off topic post.
My computer is beginning to run
slow particularly in real time with MetaStock.
Does anyone know of computer
manufacturers (or lists where I can pose this question) that will build
custom computers with one's exact specification of components including
the case, motherboard, and exact memory chips, as well as all of the
other components?
Thank you in advance. Feel free
to email directly to not bother others on the list.
