Making your RAM faster






You might be facing issue with many windows application taking a lot of time to open, also playing games is becoming tough for you.

Here is the solution to Boost up you RAM

# 1. Minimise the Paging file:

The Windows paging file, or page-file, supports system crash dumps and enables the system to use physical RAM more efficiently by writing some file content to disk if the main memory is near capacity. On most Windows 10 with 8 GB of RAM or more, the OS manages the size of the paging file nicely. 2.5 GB is typical on 16 GB systems, and 5 GB on 32 GB systems.

1. Open System Properties. Right-click the Start menu, select System and then click Change Settings, or use the Control Panel.

2. In the System Properties dialog box, on the Advanced tab, click the Settings button in the Performance section.

3. In the Performance Options dialog box, on the Advanced tab, click the Change button in the Virtual Memory section.

4. In the Virtual Memory dialog box, jot down the minimum allowed, recommended and currently allocated paging file sizes in the last section. Then, uncheck the box that says Automatically manage paging file size for all drives. If more than one drive appears in the available drives list, click your system drive -- the one on which Windows is installed, which is usually C:.

5. Click Custom Size, and then type values into the Initial Size (MB) and Maximum Size (MB) boxes, making the maximum size 1 GB (1,000 MB) or up to 4 GB (4,000 MB), depending on the amount of installed RAM.

6. Click Set, then OK.

After these steps, close all open dialog boxes and restart your computer.
Better yet, if you have multiple physical drives -- not just multiple partitions of a single drive -- you can increase system speed by splitting the paging file across two drives. Allocate about 300 MB of the paging file to the system drive, select the second drive in the Virtual Memory dialog box, set the initial size and maximum size values and click Set.


#2.Disable Virtual Effects

Although animations and shadows make the user interface look great, they use quite a bit of CPU and memory resources. To turn off these features, open System Properties. In the System Properties dialog box, on the Advanced tab, click the Settings button in the Performance section. On the Visual Effects tab, you can uncheck all the options that contain animations and movements.
#3.Disable unwanted services

 Press Windows+R (Run) and there type msconfig.exe. Go to Startup Tab. Disable all those services or applications that you don't want to run on startup as many of those you will not be using.
Eg. Disabling Adobe, A Dictionary application or QuickTime Player.

Hard Disks- What all you don't know !!

Although hard disk drives kept improving, state-of-the art disks were built according to the concept “bigger is better” well into the ‘80s. Hard disk drives were normally used together with big mainframe computers, so this was not such a big deal. Entire rooms were already set aside for the computers. Here is a 250 MB hard disk drive from 1979. IBM introduced the first hard disk drive to break the 1 GB barrier in 1980. It was called the IBM 3380 and could store 2.52 GB (500 times more than the consumer options at the time). Its cabinet was about the  size of a refrigerator  and the whole thing weighed in at  550 pounds  (250 kg). For a visual on how hard disk drive sizes have changed since the ‘80s until today, have a look at the below image with an old 8-inch drive all the way down to today’s 3.5-inch, 2.5-inch and 1.8-inch drives.

Is MAC far better than Windows ?

The answers to this is question is a big NO and little Yes. Mac PCs might be the dreams of many youngsters but its important to know the difference b/w a Mac and Windows desktop. 1.The acceptability of Windows is more popular in market and the simple reason to this is the cost and the flexibility.Flexibility to change RAM size, upgrade Graphics and add other hardware devices .Also the availability of  Windows based CPU devices in market is quite good  making users easy to customise and maintain their PCs. This all does not happens with a Mac.They are really strict :P. 2. Windows’s virtual memory is much more effective than Mac’s. A PC running low on memory will run slow, but it won’t breakdown. A Mac running low on memory is much more likely to crash. This means you need less RAM in a Windows computer to ensure it’s reliable. 3. Various Applications related to Software maintenance ,Gaming, User Interfaces , Enterprise Applications are easily available for W...

Comparing i3 , i5 and i7 processors

Around 80% of new PCs, and over 90% of laptops, have Intel processors. This means that if you’re in the market for a new computer, you’ll most likely be considering an Intel-powered model. Finding the right chip is hard. Intel's processor ecosystem is strewn with confusing model numbers that actually tell you a lot about the processor you're about to buy, albeit only if you know what you're actually looking for. Intel’s branding doesn’t make it particularly easy for you to choose: it’s not at all obvious what the difference between a Core i3, Core i5 or Core i7 processor is, apart from an ever-increasing amount of cash removed from your wallet. DESKTOP Core i3 Core i5 Core i7 No. of cores 2 4 4 Frequency range 3.2-3.9GHz 2.2-3.5GHz 2.8-4GHz Turbo Boost No Yes Yes Hyper-Threading Yes No Yes Cache 3-4MB 6MB 8MB NUMBER ...
