Tweak processor and memory to enhance performance.

Actually you could not notice your PC’s performance until you are supposed to run multiple programs at the same time. At that time, processor and memory of your system are as busy as bee especially when resourse-intensive programs are running. The bottom line is that different programs need different amounts of processor and memory resources. So, by tweaking settings of CPU and memory helps enhance the performance.

Before tweaking, you need to understand how your PC allocates the system’s resources to the programs. Keep in mind that there are not only foreground programs ( which are running and appearing on the task bar ) but also background programs or services ( which are running on the background, auto-update program for example ). You get also physical memory ( which is called RAM inside your system ) and virtual memory ( which is temporary space on the hard disk and is used when physical RAM is under heavy burden ). Windows also loads frequently-used programs into the momory for faster retrieval. Keeping those facts in mind, you can now tweak your system. Right-click My Computer icon on desktop, choose properties then choose Advanced tab, click Settings under Performance and choose Advanced tab on Performance Options window. Get yourself familiar with different settings by clicking on question mark icon on the right corner and hovering ‘question mark’ on different setting. You will get a brief explanation of the setting you choose.
