 How to speed up your pc
Get rid of all the crap on your hard drive, and defrag the hard drive once you've exceeded 50% of memory capacity it's going to take longer to do anything... Don't waste your money on expensive programs... There just fancy bells and whistles...  Peace

How is Windows 7? I'm running Vista Ultimate 64bit and I worry that switching over to W7 will screw with the programs that are running well on Vista. Even now there aren't buckets of programs out there taking advantage of Vista64 and switching to W7 might narrow the choices even further. -the Corsican.

another performance tip: empty out all your temp folders (c:\documnents and settings\URNAME\Local Settings\Temp) you can also right click on my computer, select properties, the advanced tab and there are a couple of performance options there.. I usually set a static swap file at about 1.5-2X the amount of ram as well.

Or you can (to empty temp folder) go to the run box and type %temp% and that will get you there also. -the Corsican.

We use firefox as its more stable than anything windows can make & hope itworks! All microsoft stuff is untested trash but with a corner on the market they can get away with the trash they produce! Hey be glad they don't make cars.I could imagine the dead all over the road! As for MACs there were 10 known virises 10 years ago & nothing else since! Heres a video about vista Another thing you can do is clean out the "Java" start - control panel - other control panel options - select java & settings. This will take out the java gum! All those free registry fixes do is sell registry cleaners! Any p2p network has those for free but it ends in a chase for nothing! http://www.tucows.com/index.html Last edited by SMoKaLoTaPoT; 11-19-2009 at 10:27 AM. |

I have a mac... powerbook g4, its a few years old but still runs pretty fast. Every so often I scan for viruses and nothing ever comes up, I also like the atomic delete they have, I can overwrite deleted files with zero's up to thirty times... pretty good for not being a government program, and files can't be recovered from that so far as I know.

and I agree with smokalot... I will never use another PC, never never never. the mac system has been stable for as long as its been around, and anything microsoft does is just chasing its tail.

If your using vista, and dont mind if it looks like XP you can change all the visual settings to speed up your system, all the things that make vista look different from XP use a lot of memory to run. -Right click My Computer and to to Properties -Basic info about your system will come up, in the left sidebar click "advanced system settings" -Go to the "advanced" tab and click on the "Performance settings" button -change to "Adjust for best performance" Last edited by serial_killer; Yesterday at 12:11 AM. |

if you're running vista, and you want to speed up your system, upgrade to 7.

Yeah well that to, I would have loved to take advantage the $30 student offer. But my other hobby is cars, and electronic fuel injection, and I have a home written program to tune GM OBD1 PCM's (the cars brain) and then burn a new EPROM chip to put into the PCM. I'm afraid that it wont work in W7, and since I use that program for my job I cant risk it on my only computer. That's literally the only reason I didn't get it.

Thanks for the laugh... It 'will' go even faster, if you throw it 'down' the stairs, into the basement: instead of 'across' the room! LOL!!!
