Optimize Your Business: 7 Easy Ways To Speed Up Your Computer
Copyright 2005 Keith Gloster
Let me ask you a question?
Have you ever purchased a piece of software for your business which clained it could make your computer run faster only to discover that it hadn't?
Or, maybe you bought an optimizing software tool and the only thing that got optimized was your wallet!
Unfortunately, it turns out that most software of this type look at the problem from the wrong direction and only target one or two of the things you need to do. That's why they never seem to speed up your machine.
And even if they do speed up your computer the speed does not last because of other things that eventually slow your computer down again & make it ineffective.
As a matter of fact, many of the things needed to make a computer run better have nothing to do with speed or memory!
"In order to really make a computer run well you need to do several things that work together and form a complete computer speed system."
Here are just a few "speed secrets" you can use right now to increase the speed and performance of your Windows XP system:
Secret 1 Graphics take up tons of memory on the Windows system. Much of the stuff that is being done with the graphics settings goes unseen. You can gain a ton of speed just by making this one change.
To change your graphics Settings:
Click on Start Control Panel then open System select Advanced and click Performance Settings then click Visual Effects
Click on custom and reset some of the graphics manually or use the available Windows default settings that are less of a memory burden.
Secret 2 Improve your startup & boot time speed. My programmer assures me there is a way to do this but I cannot understand it. This also improves your computer experience because installing new programs and upgrading programs always requires a reboot. You may need to hire a programmer to do this for you.
Secret 3 Memory optimization using the paging file or virtual memory is the secret to more RAM. If you find your computer trashing the hard drive quite often, this is a sign of bad virtual file management (it can also be a sign that you don't have enough RAM, the more the better, always!).
To change your Virtual Memory Settings:
click on Start Control Panel then open System Select Advanced and click Performance Settings then click Advanced and look at Virtual Memory then click Change Select a drive and select custom
Confirm the proper drive is selected and reset the minimum.
Secret 4 Improve internet connection speed and internet bandwidth speed by adjusting your maximum transmission unit. Better known as MTU. Don't try to do this one yourself. Have an expert programmer do it because it can only be done from the registry.
Secret 5 System Restore takes up lots of memory in it's default settings. You can lower the settings to the bare minimum and still be able to restore your computer if needed.
Here is where to find it: Head to Start Select Control Panel Select System Select System Restore Tab select a hard drive go to settings and move tab to desired level
Secret 6 You can disable and stop the Indexing Service if it is running and gain speed and memory.
here is how:
Head to Start Select Control Panel Select Performance and Maintenance Select Administrator Tools Select Services Select "Indexing Service" (Double Click) Select General Tab In the Startup type: select "Disabled" Select the Ok button to close the panel
By implementing a complete computer speed system for your business computer, you will extend the life of your computer, increase productivity and avoid downtime due to unpredictable computer crashes.

Chris Bishop: Even the most sophisticated computers can't tell a dog from a cat (Independent) The task of recognising structure or objects in data is called pattern recognition. It's something computers find incredibly difficult. Let's say we want to distinguish between pictures of cats and pictures of dogs. The problem is that there is huge variation in the images. There are different sizes and different colours of cats and dogs, and different shapes, and there are changes in the ...
