How to increase the speed of the PC without adding RAM

PLEASE HOW CAN INCREASE THE SPEED TO RUN THE PC WITHOUT ADDING MORE RAM

Some reasons for the slow pace of the computer:

1. computer has not been maintained - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Maintenance

2. the computer is infected with the malware - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware

3. the disk is too full. Remove useless stuff, uninstall unused programs. Do not forget to save!
http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Backing_Up

4. flaky third party software. Toolbars and modules are particularly guilty in this area. Uninstall toolbars (Google, Yahoo, ISP brand, etc) and look at what modules are in use in your browser (s).

5. computer has too many unnecessary programs/processes running in the background. Manage your Startup:

For XP - How to troubleshoot using the Msconfig in Windows XP utility - http://support.microsoft.com/?id=310560
The free Autoruns program is very useful for managing your Startup - http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/default.mspx

For Vista/Windows7 - Start Orb > Search box > type: msconfig and when it appears in the results area above, right-click and choose 'run as administrator '. Autoruns is also very useful.

6. the user runs an inflated/invasive such as Norton and McAfee antivirus program. Replace it with a better program. I recommend NOD32 (commercial) or Avast (free). Avira is also good, but the free version has an unpleasant reminder screen (Google for instructions on how to disable it). The user can also run several real-time antivirus/firewall/security programs.

7. the user has installed new programs that are processor and/or memory-intensive (Photoshop, AutoCAD, Mathmatica or similar) and does not have the power of the equipment.

8 drive fails and is in PIO Mode. It's very much slow (like being in 1985). See Hans-Georg Michna here information - http://winhlp.com/?q=node/10

In addition to the above, see also http://miekiemoes.blogspot.com/2008/02/help-my-computer-is-slow.html

Note: If the computer has always been slow, in addition to the above user may have bought a machine with a less powerful processor and not enough RAM (memory). The normal use of the computer, 512 MB to 1 GB is sufficient for XP; Vista should have a minimum of 2 GB; Windows 7 is less demanding than Vista, but the minimum of 2 GB should also be used.

    Hi all

    I have a HP Envy M6 1205sa AMD A10 4600 M.

    The unit itself was big on time, I have owned it and has preformed always well.

    I use this product every day and it turned work very well and it is a pleasure to own a unit that has stayed clear of the problems major regualr over more heating, wifi etc.

    Before you speak to soon.

    I must say that it began to show signs of delay. What I mean by that, is in loading and software applications using multiple applications both large scale and scope, it turns to slow down a bit. I don't know if my work is much greater in some contexts but he slowed down just a little.

    At the time where I buy this camera, I was told that it is standard a 2.30 GHz which can be "Turbo Boosted" to 3.20 GHz processor speed.

    My Question is:

    How would can increase what's called Turbo Boost setting to increase the speed of the processor at 3.20 GHz 2.30 GHz?

    All the helpw and advice is much appreciated.

    Hey J-Singh,

    Sorry about that I confused the term Turbo Boost and assumed you had Intel Turbo Boost is a protected term.

    AMD technology is called base Turbo and managers are exactly the same. Here is a specific of the AMD page, if you want to read: the AMD Turbo Core technology.

    There are many tools out there to monitor your CPU usage including task manager built into Windows. (Ctrl + Alt + Del > Task Manager). Other programs out there like CPUID and Speccy are great alternatives for more information.

    You can configure Windows for a clean boot if you find that the system begins to lag. A clean boot will reduce the number of processes and applications that start automatically when Windows starts. You can see how to do this here: How to perform a boot in Windows.

    HP also has a great document on improving the performance of the system without adding RAM: improvement of system performance without adding memory (Windows 8).

    Looking at the specs of your PC, you have 6 GB of DDR3 RAM, which is good, but is expandable to 16 GB. I guess the laptop has a 4 GB card and a 2 GB card installed at the moment, so you can easily add an extra 2 GB by purchasing a 4 GB card to replace the 2 GB. Here is a guide on how to add memory to your laptop: removal and replacement of a Module memory for HP Pavilion m6 and m6 notebook PCs like.

    Spare parts recommended for your laptop, but these aren't the only options, however they are which have been tested for guaranteed return on your laptop (numbers in bold):

    Memory 8 GB (PC3 12800, 1600 MHz) - module 670034-001
    Memory 4 GB (PC3 12800, 1600 MHz) - module 641369-001

    You can buy another RAM if you wish, but you may have problems with it. Buy a faster speed that the laptop can support means that you lost money. If the laptop supports up to 1600 MHz using 1866 GHz RAM will be strangled or may not work at all.

    If you are not familiar with how the (sharp RAM) is here is a little info for you without trying to get too technical:

    RAM stands for Random Access Memory. He named this way because the computer is able to read any of RAM cell unlike the old fashioned tape drives. Tape drives has written to tape in a specific pattern. This means access to the stored memory of the band would turn to a specific area for the information to be drawn from it. With RAM, the computer can pull of any field that vousattendez was a great leap to achieve higher computer speeds.

    Next to the CPU, the RAM is (in my opinion) the most important piece of hardware on your PC in terms of speed. Windows 8 (64-bit) requires at least 2 GB of RAM to run effectively. It would be for the basic operations and does not leave much space for anything as this is other than light web browsing, word processing and other basic use. RAM acts as a temporary location for the processor to use and store information during the processing of requests made by applications. The computer draws information from the hard drive to RAM so it can use data at higher speeds and not be limited to (slowest) speeds of the HARD drive. The more RAM you have the more things that you can do both.

    Think of it like this: If you're a mechanic, and you have only 1 car (job) to work on you only need a garage 1 car (RAM). If you have more cars (more jobs) to work on you need more garage space (more RAM) so you can store the things that you need to finish your work.  Keep in mind of RAM is not the same as the physical storage. RAM is erased when the RAM card loses power (ie. the PC is turned off).

    Hope this helps.

    This old laptop has a graphics card with shared memory. In other words, when you have more RAM inside more memory will be used for graphical operations. According to the specifications of the laptop this old notebook was shipped with 128 MB of RAM, but can be improved up to 512 MB.

  • Satellite A300-18 has: how to increase the screen resolution

    I have recently buy a Toshiba Satellite A300-18 a, and I want to increase the resolution of the screen.
    Currently the max resolution is 1280 x 800.

    Does anyone know how to increase the resolution?
    Where can I find the drivers to increase?

    Thank you

    Henrique

    Hello

    I don t think a new graphics driver would allow a higher screen resolution on your laptop A300.
    Have you checked your manual for more details?

    I downloaded the user manual of the Europe of Toshiba page and discovered that the display is a 15.4 WXGA 16Mill colors with the following resolution: 1280 horizontal and 800 pixels vertical.

    It seems that you are already using the highest available resolution and therefore you will not be able to wear to higher values.

    Hello

    One thing that can help is a bit what follows.  Do a right-click the speaker icon in the taskbar and select "playback devices".  Left click the device once to highlight default (it is usually 'speakers & headphones') and then click the properties button.  Click the enhancements tab and put a check mark in the box "Loudness equalization.  Click on apply to save the changes and then click OK in all other windows and see if allowed at all.

    Kind regards
