10 Tips to =SPEED=
up your PC
1.Let your PC boot up completely before opening any
applications.
2.Refresh the desktop after closing any application. This will
remove any unused files from the RAM.
3.Do not set very large file size images as your wallpaper. Do
not keep a wallpaper at all if your PC is low on RAM (less than 64 MB).
4.Do not clutter your Desktop with a lot of shortcuts. Each
shortcut on the desktop uses up to 500 bytes of RAM
5.Empty the recycle bin regularly. The files are not really
deleted from your hard drive until you empty the recycle bin.
6.Delete the temporary internet files regularly.
7.Defragment your hard drive once every two months. This will
free up a lot of space on your hard drive and rearrange the files so that your
applications run faster.
8.Always make two partitions in your hard drive. Install all
large Softwares (like PSP, Photoshop, 3DS Max etc) in the second partition.
Windows uses all the available empty space in C drive as virtual memory when
your Computer RAM is full. Keep the C Drive as empty as possible.
9.When installing new Softwares disable the option of having a
tray icon. The tray icons use up available RAM, and also slow down the booting
of your PC. Also disable the option of starting the application automatically
when the PC boots. You can disable these options later on also from the Tools
or preferences menu in your application.
10. Protect your PC from dust. Dust causes the CPU cooling fan
to jam and slow down thereby gradually heating your CPU and affecting the
processing speed. Use compressed air to blow out any dust from the CPU. Never
use vacuum.
RAM IS THE WORKING AREA (DESKTOP) OF THE CPU, KEEP IT AS EMPTY
AND UNCLUTTERED AS POSSIBLE!
