Optimize computer performance
K Solo | May 19, 2009 | 0 comments
Sometimes we feel so annoyed, caused of our computer’s performance. It was slow, long time to execute applications, processing task, or copying and deleting files. This problem occurred caused by several kind of possibility. Another case, some applications not responding, even unexpected quit or computer become hang.
For preventing those problems, we need to consider several aspects below:
Hardware Specification
Some of us are inexpert about how to optimize hardware specification against operating system. A branded computer, by vendor sure already tested for hardware specification versus operating system, but if we assemble computer by ourselves sometimes we don’t know that operating system require certain hardware specification to running. So, don’t installing operating system that hardware specification is to close with operating system requirement.
It is recommended to installing operating system to computer that has much higher hardware specification then the requirement.
Memory Card
Memory card is one of significant hardware that having an affect on computer’s performance. Insufficient memory can cause effect on degradation of computer’s performance. On Windows, physical and virtual memory working together to handle the system cache, processing tasks, and etc. Wrong configuration of virtual memory can decrease speed and performance of computer. For detail how to configure that, you must refer to operating system configuration guide from related vendor. Then, it is recommended to using same speed of memory card (do not use memory card with mix speed, for example do not use DDR 256MB PC2100 with DDR 256 PC2700 at the same motherboard).
Applications
Some applications running as background applications, and they’re using a lot of memory. So many application installed as background application will slow down computer performance. It is recommended to uninstall application that not used anymore or unnecessary. And, do not install many applications with same function; choose the one that suitable for your need.
Hard drive
Using hard disk excessively can decrease hard disk performance. Writing and erase data on disk sector too often, make more long time to file indexing process. It is recommended to use disk defragmenting software to fixing it.
Defragment will organize file in good structure, faster and easier to be indexing and will speed up performance especially for searching file end executing applications.
Virus and spyware
Virus can make any damage for your computer performance, decreasing speed, even damage your data. Then spyware can be harmful of your data, because spy can take your private data. It is recommended to install antivirus and antispyware application to protect to your computer.
System Registry
After uninstalling applications, sometimes we insensibly that process uninstall is not clean, some garbage leaved at system registry. To many unused registry entries in system registry can slow down computer performance, even make computer crashes. Using registry cleaner software is recommended.
This just a little share, hope this will be useful for us.
