Aye, that is true, one should be suspicious of any attempts to sell or upgrade products.
In this case however we had difficulties watching videos and the PC has been slow in other ways as well.
Yes, it has been updated and running the latest of anti malware and anti spyware and Norton and CC cleaners and what not.
The smoking gun is still the video card and as can be seen in above link from Mr. Saab, my card is in the bottom compared to modern stuff.
Hence I am on the hunt now for a new and improved card, especially after I opened the PC today and did a trial run of removing the card and re-installing it and found the process quick and easy. (after I found out how.
)
If I am not gaming and editing videos today, it does not mean I won’t be doing it tomorrow.
