Speed Up Computer

A newly released survey conducted by polling firm Zogby International for office supplier Staples shows that most people don’t know how to deal with a slow computer. According to the poll, which was conducted online and involved 2,000 respondents, nearly half of all respondents thought that restarting the computer or running anti-virus software would fix a slow computer.

Many Things Can Cause A Slow Computer

For the half of respondents who thought that a reboot or A/V software would fix the problem – they’re right only if the slow computer problem was a runaway process or a virus. Both of these things can cause slow computer performance, but they’re not the leading causes of chronic slow performance.

Chronically slow computers can be caused by a number of conditions. The number one cause of a slow computer is the lack of available RAM in a computer. If you purchased your computer with the minimum complement of RAM and you want to run the latest operating system and applications, you’re probably going to be disappointed with your computer performance. So, if you want to speed up your computer, just install more RAM, right?

Just like runaway processes and viral infections, a lack of RAM can slow computer performance. Adding RAM will speed up your slow computer if you don’t have enough RAM installed for what you’re doing. If your computer has enough RAM installed, adding more won’t help much.

The key to solving slow computer problems isn’t doing one or two or even three things. It’s knowing what’s causing the performance problem in the first place. One known performance killer is excessive, unnecessary registry entries. Computers that have been in service for awhile tend to accumulate a lot of unnecessary code in their registry files. The computer has to read through all of the registry information, whether it’s relevant or not. Keeping your computer registry files free of this unwanted and unnecessary information will help keep your computer running smoothly.
