*How busy is your device or how resource hungry it is?*
This what we are going to deal with today.
When your device boots up(i.e is switched on); Different applications and services are loaded to the memory. Most of these services use alot of resources and hinder your most productive applications from performing to their peak. We will see how to deal with that. And make you pc run as new always!
_1. Do not install more than one antivirus in your device._
_2. Make sure you have installed all the required drivers for your pc and most important the VGA drivers_
3. Maintain minimum free space on your Hard Disk which is not less than twice the size of RAM. i.e *if you going to fill your hard-disk don't fill it to more than twice the size of your* *RAM. In other words, If your RAM is 4gb, then Always 8GB of free space should be on your HDD* !
Why the above👆?
There is a file called _swap file_ in windows OS, which is always created in you HDD. the file size is equals to the amount of RAM of pc!
The contents of the
RAM alternates from RAM to The HDD, As the load increases. So if you fill up all your HDD then this won't happen and your pc will grind to a snails speed.
_4. If you have a small amount of RAM say 1Gb, increase it manually to 4Gb by adding additional amount of swap onto your HDD_ *I will show you This later*
_5. If you have a bigger amount of RAM 8Gb and above you can do away with swapping back and forth, so everything is done in the RAM itself. *NOTE* . Reading information from RAM is more efficient and blazingly fast. You can do this by disabling swapping!_ *I will show this to you later*_
*PART TWO continues down here* 👇
*Speeding up your devices(Windows Pc)*
_6. If your are NOT using internet, disconnect it. since the current computers give high priority to connectivity and a penalty to your other applications, also there are perpetual applications that keep using your resources to make communication with unhealthy hosts i.e (spy-wares, virus, NSA and the like. Thereby leaking your information, consuming your bandwidth and slowing down your PC)._
_7. If you don't do graphics in Windows pc and you have less than 1 GB of RAM then you must UNINSTALL the big size fonts and reduce the amount of Fonts. Eliminate the one you don't always use . Because they get loaded always in memory for no particular use hence overloading your pc._
_8. Don’t install those screen savers that keep transitioning on your desktop. They harbour spywares and also eat your resources(Bandwidth, RAM, Processor Cycles)_
_9. If your are going to purchase additional RAM. Purchase them in POWERS of 2 as (1, 2, 4, 8, 16,32 etc) *NOT* (3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12 ETC) GB and should be of the same kind and speed. RAMs have different speed_ .
