- Let your PC boot up completely before opening
any applications.
- Refresh the desktop after closing any application.
This will remove any unused files from the RAM.
- Do not set very large file size images as your
wall paper. Do not keep a wallpaper at all if your PC is low on RAM (less
than 64 MB).
- Do not clutter your Desktop with a lot of
shortcuts. Each shortcut on the desktop uses up to 500 bytes of RAM
- Empty the recycle bin regularly. The files are
not really deleted from your hard drive until you empty the recycle bin.
- Delete the temporary internet files regularly.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 in your application.
- 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 cleaner.
