first you say it's a pentium 4, and then you say it's a celeron? i'm not sure i follow... but either way you probably just too much spyware/viruses on your computer.

lots of old poor performance cheapo stuff.

fx5800-5900 was the higher end ones, that even now are OLD not just old.

Celerons suck balls no matter what the clock.

1/2 gig o ram is like so last millenium.

Its a shame because the computer can still be useful, just not for new fangled games and suchlike. Turn it into a media server or something.
