That means there's very little room for adding and removing OS/program
modules and data as needed.

I was wrong on the RAM percentage.

I installed SpeedFan and watched the CPU with a Chromium-baed browser,
which predictably hit 100% when in use and 0% when not, where the RAM in
Task Manager only hovered around 60% to 68% while the CPU temperature was
from about 151dF to 167dF in SpeedFan.

Everything is better though, now that I deleted all the Google stuff, all
the java stuff, all the updaters, and anything else I could, like Avast.

It still hits 100% every time I use a Chromium-based browser, but it is
barely useable. As someone said, it 'walks' but it won't run.

Here's a screenshot at 0%

And, a few moments away from that at 100%

The only thing that changed between them was the web browser.

DWM is wasting CPU as well.

The chipsets back when the MT-30 was introduced, probably
don't have programmable shaders, and there's a good chance
a lot of the graphics stack is being software emulated.
And that's not helping matters.

My laptop has the same problem, ancient graphics subsystem,
and no way to fix the graphics. Graphics age faster than
CPUs do.
