How can I improve the performance of my desktop. It is really slow?
Takes forever to boot or connect to the internet
Try using a great and free cleaning software like CCleaner. it will safely get rid of unwanted clutter with the Cleaner and Registry tab. it will safely clean out unwanted and unused registry items that can slow your performance down.

Another great software that could help is called SuperAntispyware. it's a great software that i've relied on for finding the viruses and trojans undetected by some big name virus scan programs. if it find's something serious and ask you to reboot and you scan and it finds the same virus again, you will have to turn off your system restore for the time being and rescan again. then turn the system restore back on after a reboot.

.
another thing to do is go to a site that can scan your computer by installing an add-on into your browser and seeing if it has the max memory that your computer can handle on the motherboard. select option number 2 and let it find the information. they're good about giving back refunds and they're based in Missouri.

just to be cautious always clean out your computer tower every 3 months with air from an air compressor with a tip that has an open and close valve on it to spray in there. you mostly wanna get the dust out of the power supply and around your cpu. dust in the power supply can cause heat and transfer of small electric charges shorting out the supply and causing you to buy a new one. you can buy one of those cans filled with air, but if you have an air compressor it's cheaper on you and work better on getting those tiny dust particles out.
Desktop or Laptop for College?
The case for a desktop:
Basically, desktops give you better performance for the buck. Budget desktops start at around $300-$400 (LCD monitor included) while the cheapest laptops will cost you at least $100 more. Desktops are easier to upgrade manually than laptops, and are harder to steal. They also tend to be more reliable than laptops, which are moved around often and are more prone to failure. Desktops also support multiple monitors easily, which may be important for hardcore programmers. Finally, serious gamers may prefer high-end desktops for the performance, especially when it comes to supporting the newest graphics cards. Overall, desktops give a better deal for raw computing power and better reliability, with support for multiple monitors.
The case for a laptop:
The main advantage of laptops is portability, which can be a huge plus for college students. Moving in and moving out out a dorm, house, or apartment with a laptop are obviously much easier than with a desktop. Your laptop will take up much less desk space than a desktop, even assuming you have a LCD monitor for the desktop. Most universities are going wireless, so having a laptop to carry around campus means you can get Internet access pretty much all over. You can also use it to take notes in class, and depending on the kind of laptop, some even allow you to use it as a notebook (see Tablets under the Laptop Buying Guide). Laptops are also much less of a hassle to take home for breaks. Overall, the advantages of having a laptop mainly revolve around its size and portability.
Which one you pick depends on your situation. What are you going to use it for? How far do you have to travel to school? What does your budget look like?
For most students, especially freshmen, I would recommend a laptop over a desktop. Unless you're a hardcore gamer or programmer, there isn't a huge gap in performance between desktops and similarly priced laptops for everyday programs like Internet Explorer, Firefox, Word, Excel, IM and so on. Your dorm room most likely isn't going to be huge, and a desktop will take up more space and be much more of a pain to move in and out. Also, laptop prices have been dropping recently, not quite to the level of desktop prices, but you can get a serviceable budget laptop for around $500. See our Laptop Buying Guide for details.
