NavigationPC Optimization
The most important part of your computer is the CPU or "Central
Processing Unit". The most obvious way to improve computer speed
would be to replace the CPU by a faster one. While this is by far
the most efficient way to increase speed, it is also the most
expensive. Before you spend hundreds of dollars on a new computer,
you should start by making sure your current computer is working
efficiently.
Because a modern computer is a very complex machine and Windows is a very complex piece of software, it usually takes some tweaking to get the last 10 or 20 percents of performance out of your hardware. On most Windows PCs, there are at least twenty programs running at any time. Since most of these programs are invisible to the user, it is not very easy to know exactly what your computer is doing most of the time. By changing the process priorities you can often improve both performance and stability.
A second thing that introduces a significant decrease in speed is spyware. Adware and spyware are a curse of us all. Yes believe it or not your computer is probably riddled with it. I examined a computer recently and it had over 1300 programs. Where do they come from? Emails, websites and even software you have downloaded, plus many other sources. By eliminating these small programs and pieces of code, you can again significantly improve the speed of your machine. Finally, a regular defragment of your hard drive will also tweak the last bit of horsepower from your CPU. Local businesses will charge you based on a tiered system, starting at $45 and going up.
