I was wondering something about the way PC's work.
I am a Mac person by preference, but I also use a PC at work. So, on to the question! - Can a larger monitor slow down a computer? I have a pretty old HP PC here that used to have this little 15inch monitor on it. It was kinda slow, but I only used it for testing and stuff so I didn't really mind. Recently, I put on a 21inch monitor and I SWEAR the computer is goin much slower. Is that possible? I have never seen this happen in any of my Mac years, but I am in PC land so I am out of my element. I have checked the hard drive, it's only like 3/4 full. I am not running in ultra high res mode or anything. hrm... I could drop the res and/or number of colors for the display and see if that does anything, but that's no solution cause I need the extra size and colors. Any ideas? --------------------  |

proj, he said he needs the resolution and the colors.
scu, you said it was running slow even before the monitor upgrade, maybe it's time to upgrade the entire system? |
