Speed Up Your Computer Performance Tips

Are your computers getting slower and slower each time you use it? Do you still acquire the same computer performance even if it is more than 5 to 10 years old already? Well, if your problem is a slow computer performance I have some tips you might need to speed up the process. These tips will help improve your computer's performance.
First, if your computer is too old I suggest that you burn your files that are less important. Place it on CD or DVD to give more hard disk and memory space. This will help lessen the files that your computer will need to read on. Like on the start up or when running some applications that will need to read the whole files in your computer. It slows the process due to the fact that your PC specs don't have the capabilities of the new computers being sold in the market right now.
You can also upgrade your computer components to get better performance. However, if you don't have money, it is not advisable that you buy CD, DVD or any computer components. Don't worry because there are still other ways to accelerate the performance of your computer.
Some files are still in your computer even if you already uninstall the programs you installed before. Most of us didn't know that, right? These files are left over by programs we used before. Now, these files are traceable using some free program out there. It's not easy to trace them or sometimes we are not sure what files to delete so we end up having no choice but not to delete it. We don't want to remove something we didn't know because sometimes we are afraid that we might encounter troubles if we will be deleting these files. It might cause us some problems like the computer will not work properly because the files we deleted actually has a major part in our OS but we assume that it has no use. It happened to me before. So I suggest that you must try a Google search first before deleting the files.
Another way is by using programs like CCleaner. It is a tool you can use to remove unused files in your system. This tool allows your windows to run fast and free some space in your hard drive. It has the ability to clean your internet activities as well.
Next is to lessen the startup program. Remove unnecessary programs on startup so it won't affect the speed of your computer while opening. Those startup programs make your computer slow while opening because your computer memory has to load those startup programs first. Your memory needs more time to do this that's why it makes your computer slow. If your memory is not that high, I suggest doing this process to make the loading faster. Well, here is the way how you can lessen your startup programs. Click "start" then go to "run" or on the "search box" of your laptop, type "msconfig". After that, you will see a pop-up window with lots of choices. Choose the "Startup" tab then uncheck the programs you don't need to load when your computer starts.
Last thing I know is disk defragmenter. Disk Defragmenter is another computer program designed to increase access speed. Also known as defragmenting, this is the process of rearranging files stored on a disk to occupy contiguous storage locations. The objective of this process is to optimize the time it takes to read and write files to/from the disk. It can be done by minimizing head travel time while maximizing the transfer rate. Disk Defragmenter can also improve the loading time in system startup for computers supported by Windows XP.
