Tips: How to speed up your laptop ~ Laptop and PC Games

These are tips how to speed up your laptop. Perhaps you are so fed up with your laptop performance, or you are in deadline to finish your routine jobs and you rely on much on your laptop. So this is the solution for your laptop.

First step: find out the startup program, just type msconfig on Run command prompt, then system configuration utility appear, click on startup tab, you can uncheck startup item which you don’t want to run, this will unload some program on the background and this will give more space on RAM. The more space on RAM will make system run faster, because when the system is in out of memory, they will use hard disk space for the RAM spare, which is slower than RAM itself.

Second step: run disk defragmenter regularly, this will arrange data on the hard disk so that access data on the hard disk faster or change your FAT32 format to NTFS format because NTFS have faster access to the hard disk data.

Third step: update hardware driver, because the latest driver will make hardware performance faster and efficient. You can use Test My Hardware software to check the availability latest driver on the net for automatic update, or you can do manually. Open control panel go to system, device manager, and then update only specific hardware.

Fourth step: check on task manager, whether your laptop have enough RAM, see the manual whether your laptop have slot to add more some RAM.

Fifth step: don’t mix data and system in one drive; you should save data on different drive, if your system on drive C, so save the data on drives D or E.

Sixth step: use multiple operating systems on single hard disk, so you can use one system for working and the other one for playing games, or keep one operating system as spare, incase the prime system crashes.

Seventh step: use trusted antivirus, some antivirus “eat” the CPU and RAM usage, they have too much program running on the background. The Good antivirus have little program running on the background, usually will scan the system when the system is in idle time, so will not “disturbed” our work.

Eighth step: don’t install any software from untrusted site, because some software have “bug”, when we try to uninstall it, some program running on background still uninstalled, so it will occupy CPU and RAM usage.

Those steps are applied according to your laptop specification; the latest laptop will not need those steps.
