>>"do I need to replace my hard drive if my computer is going real slow or do I need to had more memory?"
NO, but your pc will run faster if you add more memory.
>>"Can there be another problem that is affecting my computer? "
It might be :
1- too many background application running on your pc startup. try close unwanted program on pc startup.
2- fragmented hard drive. run disk defragmenter program.
3- your free space of hard drive is less than about 10%. run disk cleanup to free up more space.
4- hard drive error. run scandisk to correct error.

agree with Wakeup...please provide more details.
I would do a clean install of your OS and keep background applications to a minimum. This will be your fastest way to improve your PC's performance

dear friend,
computer speed can be improved by upgrading ur processor.and ram.because these two things effect ur computer speed alot.
another solution is that u use scuzy hard disk .its speed is far greater then oridnary hard disk.

"some users think the harddrive is the entire CPU case"
And some can't spell to the point of being illegible and/or think something called scuzy is faster than a hard disk.

and try to delete the files in the temp folder or any files with *.temp extension...to free up more spaces.
or you can add ram...to your pc....if there is still an availbale slot for ram..
try look at the taskbar..if you see more icon in it...the more memory is used....try to close some of the unwanted application running background...
then i think can increase your performance kuah....
