How to Speed Up a Computer


Windows computers usually slow down as applications are installed and used. Whether using MS Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Games, it usually fill up the RAM which stores the processes temporarily. RAM is a very important part of the computer system. Low RAM can also be a reason for the slow down of computer system. But don't worry, I am giving some tips by following which you can make your computer fast.

  • Windows XP : Right click on "My Computer" and choose the "Properties" option, then choose the "Advanced" tab and click the settings button under the "Performance" section. In the "Performance Options" dialogue, go to "Visual Effects" and choose "Adjust for best Performance". Now scroll down and select last four options and press "OK"
