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.
