PLS HELP ATLAS has been running for 7 hours now the average response time in the pc peaked at 300ms

Bro how does Windows 10 even support this? Anyways, downgrade to Windows 7 or Linux

Expected for that OS on such old and slow hardware.

Bro you need to go dumpster diving for a new system before you even think about using Windows 10. Go on FB marketplace or your countries equivalent and search until you find a $100 or so system from this millenia

an SSD would help, but that whole system has to go. That's not even sufficient for light office work

When I got my first SSD, an Intel X25-M 80GB was about the time that CPU you have came out. I had it in a Q6600 and thought it was mindblowing. It'll probably make a pretty significant difference but still, that CPU you have is 15 years old.

Mostly. It won't make the Q6600 any faster but it will massively help with Windows. With so little RAM, it has to shove more to swap, and your swap is on an HDD which is bog-slow vs even a basic $20 SATA SSD, so it compounds the issue. An SSD and more RAM (try for 8GB, IIRC the platform should support that or even 16, though it's been a while since I had my Q6600 rig) should make it useable. I would check the price on SSD and RAM though, and weigh that vs the cost of snagging an old Dell/HP office machine with a 4th gen i7, it may be a small or no difference. That system would still want an SSD to run properly (W10 essentially requires one to be usable), but it would be much more capable for any task. You can throw a cheap GPU in them and make a mean little budget gaming rig. 

 

On the topic of usability, what are you using it for? If it doesn't require Windows, you can run one of the lightweight Linux distros to get a slightly better experience. Same as before it doesn't make anything faster, just runs with less overhead, leaving more of what performance there is for the task you're actually doing.
