Sufficient RAM is necessary for computer performance.

This causes your overall computer performance to be slower and sluggish.

Older single core processors may not be able to run modern software.

Consider upgrading your processor chip.

Older CPUs may not be able to perform calculations fast enough for more modern operating systems and software. CPU power grows quickly, and after a number of years, newer software may simply need more speed than an older CPU's ability to perform the calculations to run the program. Newer computers have modern multiple-core CPUs. Multiple-core CPUs actually contain two or more CPUs in one package. CPUs that are a generation or two old only have a single core, or single CPU.

Are you hearing grinding and clicking sounds from your hard drive?

Grinding and clicking are signs of hard drive failure.

Hard disks are complex mechanical systems where components operate with very little margin for error. As a hard disk ages, components can wear out, causing mechanical failure. Some older computers cannot address the full range of newer high-capacity hard drives. As a result, some newer high-capacity hard drives may not work in older computers. Consider upgrading to a solid state drive (SSD) which have no moving parts. SSD's are more expensive than traditional hard drives but are completed silent and last much longer.

Disc drive lasers can fail or become misaligned.
