tips and tricks to make your computer run faster?
 

my dell is like over a year now and it is pretty sluggish from time to time. i do the usual shit like delete temporary internet files, run my virus program, run ad-aware, and defrag...what are some other things you guys do?

hit it again and again! Thats what i do

go to FILE-RUN and then type in msconfig
go to the starter menu & un-check boxes of stuff that starts up when you reboot your pc, that helps alot.

and delete shit that you dont use anymore.

format and reinstall :)
a clean, fresh system always runs faster.

(m not kidding)

that's right, you won't believe the difference if your machine is currently bogged down, xp tends to bloat over time.

I just scream at it a lot. It doesn't make it run any faster but, I sure feel better :)

my laptop takes 10 minutes to boot-up

plus I've got a fan on it to cool it down

def do the msconfig deal and see what is all starting up that doesn't need to be.

Compaq?..

i rub my CPU down with cheetah blood.

thanx, that worked pretty good...

for WINDOWS XP 2003

To speed up your hard disk speed we need to configure a special buffer in the computer's memory in order to enable it to better deal with interrupts made from the disk.

This tip is only recommended if you have 256MB RAM or higher.

Follow these steps:

Run SYSEDIT.EXE from the Run command.

Expand the system.ini file window.

Scroll down almost to the end of the file till you find a line called [386enh].

Press Enter to make one blank line, and in that line type

Irq14=4096



Note: This line IS CASE SENSITIVE!!!

Click on the File menu, then choose Save.

Close SYSEDIT and reboot your computer.

Done. Speed improvement will be noticed after the computer reboots.

Update: The most speed improvement is visible with IDE drives, however there are reports that this tweak also does good for SCSI disks. In any case, it won't harm your system, so why not try it yourself and let me know what you find.

Format C:\ and reinstall windows.

Add some more RAM.

defrag often

Yes, clean up and defrag your registry.

1. Add some more RAM.
2. Format C:\
3. Install Linux or BSD!

I do not trust many programs to make changes to the register on XP, but we have been using the purchased version on 7 different computers at the office for over a year without a problem.
