I have a IBM 2153 en2 that I have updated the harddrive to 80 gb and 512 of memory and Windows XP. But the computer is still slow and it will not play videos. The processor is 100htz. I was wondering, could the processor be my problem and should I upgrade it? I do know that I have old BIOS settings but I don't think this is my problem. I just need the computer to run faster and play videos. Any suggestions?

Man, 100Hz? That's soooo slow.
Yes, you need to upgrade. Just tell me - do you have to shovel coal into your machine to get up steam?:D (only joking)

Jump to Postconfusing cpu with ram hopefully ,ram is pc100,not sure what cpu is maybe 1000, winxp[win98 as old as it is would likely work faster ,just to outdated ] likely slowed it down and bit with only 512 meg ram ,cant play videos ? ,what videos ,with what program .
Jump to PostWhy do you want to just update the CPU, why not go the whole hog and upgrade your PC. Going from 350 to 550MHz is hardly an upgrade. It will continue to work but slowly compared to the current speed of machines.
Personally, I would not bother to do that …
