Hi
My 5 year old Desktop PC has been progressively getting slower. I am an intermediate level Lightroom and Photoshop CC user. I also do some intermediate video editing on Corel VideoStudio 9. It is particularly noticeable when using both Lightroom and Photoshop together. After about 1 hour things become unbearably slow to the point where I have to stop save and reboot. Then things are better. I do run regular defragmentation and clean ups but it makes no difference. The hard drive is not full.
I am planning to upgrade the RAM to 16 MB and give the internal components a good clean out as well.
Does anyone have any solutions?
Can I upgrade this PC to improve its performance?
