Get Your Computers Speed Back

September 18th, 2009

 

I recently spent a lot of time researching what was required to build a new computer from scratch. Why would I do this you may wonder? Well the primary reason for me beginning my research was because I was becoming increasingly frustrated by the fact every computer I buy seems to run incredibly well when I first buy it and then slowly decline over the time I own it until I become so frustrated with it I either bin it or pass it on to more patient people. The idea behind this was that if I built the computer from scratch it would be a lot easier for me to upgrade it when it went through the slow down all my computer seem to. I began this task by buying a couple of books on PC construction and some magazines with reviews of PC component in. I read fast so I started to get through the literature at a quick pace. This allowed me to quickly develop a sound understanding of how computers work and what makes them quick and slow. I had started to mentally decide the spec of my the new PC I was going to build when I noticed the last chapter of one of the books I had bought was all about how to make existing computers run better, i decided to read it.

I was surprised by some of the ideas suggested in there but before I get to the more surprising points let me take you through some of the more routine stuff. Point one, defragment your hard rive this is very simple but you may have to wait a while for your computer to do it. Second point, uninstall software which runs on your computer that you do not need. Now on to the more surprising points the first of which concerns the background image you use on your desktop if you pick something simple it apparently makes your computer run quick, by simple I mean with less colours. The last point and the point that really made my PC Faster is that of repairing windows registry errors. When you fix windows registry errors you are likely to see a big performance improvement , I did.
