Ok - so I have a computer that is a few years old but it has components in it that should be at least adequate. Always had AVG installed and have tried your typical malware and virus checks, defrag, etc. But my computer is so damn slow. Like... hard to surf the internet slow and browsers stalling slow. I know that Windows tends to potentially clog up over time, so to speak, but this is ridiculous.
It seemed to me that any time it was really struggling, I'd hear the HD just grinding away. Nothing abnormal, except for the length of time it did it because the computer was so slow. So I downloaded and ran a speed test on the HD and it seems to me that most people are getting WAAAYY more read/write times than I am. Looks like the sequential ratings are alright, but everything after that looks really, really low to me.

So, are these numbers in spec for a HD that's probably some 8 years old? (It was from my old computer)
Thanks.
