In continuation of my previous post on improving your computer performance try the below tips also.

Adding memory:
The most effective way to make your PC perform better is to add some extra RAM. Ram chips have become pretty cheap and if you double the RAM the improvement can be seen immediately. What you need to know before upgrading your RAM is to know the type of RAM that your computer needs to avoid compatibility issues. Do remember that for older computers increasing RAM may not help in a big way, the reason being that older systems have many types of software, CPU and other issues, so Ram may not be the answer.

Do a clean start:
When you load Windows it automatically starts many programs at start-up. The more programs you include in start-up the slower you PC can become. Also some of these programs might run in the background slowing you PC. So take control of this and select programs that you would like to start automatically. Depending on the version of windows that you are using the process of selecting the programs differs. Type the words “Start Up” in the search menu in Windows Help to get directions for the specific setup.
