Save some Memory and Speed up your Computer
GOAL: Learn a few helpful tips to stop Windows 7 from using too much memory and speed up your computer.
The Windows 7 browser, installed on many computers, has features slightly different from its past counterparts. If you think that your computer has slowed down after installing windows 7, you need to fix the problem. Firstly, use the control + shift + escape key to find out how much space windows takes up on your computer. All tasks carried out on your computer are retained in the physical memory called RAM, every open and running program takes up some space on it. Even Windows 7 uses RAM to store and run its programs. Here are a few pointers that can help you decrease the load on your RAM.
1. Superfetch
Certain programs are used regularly on our desktops; these are prerecorded in the memory by windows 7. So, next time when you give a command to run the program, windows does not spend time loading it. But this immediate access comes at a cost. This function called superftech takes up some of your RAM space. If you have a system with more than 2 GB of RAM, then you don’t have anything to worry, but any lesser means that superfetch is slowing down other functions running on your workstation. So, think about disabling this function, if you want to decrease the load on your physical memory. The method to disable this function is quite simple. Go to start, then control panel, and here make the ‘System and Security’ selection. Then, in Administrative tools, select ‘Services’ after which locate the superfetch program. Right click on the program and in the properties tab, click on disabled, then on the ’Stop’ button and lastly select ‘OK’.
