Fast Your Computer

We are living in an information world. Everyone except my grandma is using computer in work or at home. Fellow toastmasters and welcome guests, today I will talk about the computer. Let your computer problem free.

Do you want your computer always run as fast as the first day you brought it? Computer can run as fast as the first day you own it. It should last until the physical parts wear out. That is 5 to 10 years. Take care of following two things, every one can do it.

I’ve always wondered why Windows doesn’t allow you to set an arbitrary size for the filesystem cache. What if you have a slow hard drive in your laptop, but loads of available system memory? Shouldn’t you be able to maximize that memory in order to speed up hard drive access?

 Ok, here’s another part in the increase your computer’s speed and performance series: disabling visual effects and setting Processor Scheduling and Memory Usage settings. These are fairly straight-forward and one of the simpler settings to change, I had just forgotten about it since I was trying to think of the MOST useful tips first. What that means is that this tip will increase computer performance minimally on most computers.

 Turning off indexing on your hard drives is another very simple way to boost your computer’s performance. This option is automatically set by Windows XP, but it is very useless. I think we have all had the experience of using Windows Search (not to be confused with Windows Live Search) to try and find a file and having to wait 10 minutes while watching that stupid dog sniff around the screen!

 Ohh how I hate it when I start up my computer only to wait 10 minutes while my programs load up: Google Talk, Yahoo Messenger, SnagIT, Google Desktop, my anti-virus program, SQL Server, Java virtual machine, Real Player, QuickTime player, AOL IM, Roxio CD Burning, Windows Defender, Adobe Reader…I think you get my point now…if you have tons of programs loading up that you don’t use anymore, then they are basically doing nothing but slowing your computer down and should be disabled so they don’t load automatically.

 Do you have a computer that doesn’t have a huge hard drive, but you store a lot of pictures, videos, or other large files that’s getting your free space low? Once your computer gets low on hard disk space, normal processes begin to slow down and your computer will run painfully slow. There are of course lots of other reasons why your computer might be running slowly, but this post is specifically for those who know they are running short on disk space.

 Another way I’ve used to save space is to, “Squish” files

(this can be done natively in XP & up, for the older OS’s you need WinZip or some file “compression” utility)

Over time all the computers tends to slow down and this leads us to buy new hardware equipments to maintain the current speed flow and performance of the machine. These upgrades over time can turn to be very expensive and this is why I want to share with you guys some of ways that you can speed up your computer performance with a fractions of the price.

So are you ready?

In order to detect registry errors, you will need to engage the help of registry cleaner software if you do not have knowledge of computer registry. Problems with the registry stem from many different reasons and the ways to identify the root cause and their resolution also varies. One example is that you may have come across some Windows errors that say certain "DLL cannot be loaded". This can be a registry problem in itself.
