Slow Computer [aboutcomputer99.blogspot.com]

For some reason or another we all have issues with putting stuff on our computers. Many of us add more and more stuff the more that we get interested in. It is human nature to explore our world and wonder about topics and research things. Many of us get into trends and our computers suffer from it. For example, some people will go through a video game phase. For months you may play either online games or go buy games beat them and buy more games. All of this is what can harm your computer and make it slow. Yes we all agree that a computer is suppose to be a machine that works for you but what happens when it slows down so much that you cannot take it anymore. What do we do? Do we just not follow human nature and not research things within our world? Or maybe we should just stop trying new things? I think many of us all know that this cannot be done and that is a freedom as a human being.

Our computers get slow for a couple of reasons.

The first is that we do install so much stuff on them that it takes up all the room our computer has. This really makes things difficult especially when it comes to large games with high graphics. All of these types of programs need a lot of ram and hard drive space and when you compile two or three of these games on one computer system, space gets limited.

The second reason that our computers get slow is because we tend no never take anything off of the computer. Think about how many times you consistently load software onto your computer. Think about all the updates that you load on your computer for existing programs. As computer users we rarely sit down take the time and say OK what don't I need on this computer? We tend to only do this when we have come into problems or received error messages.

The third reason our computers get slow is mainly due to lack of computer maintenance.

People do not seen to ever think of maintaining a computer like you would a car. We look at a computer as a machine and as a tool for us but for some reason people don't see a computer as a piece of equipment that needs regular maintenance. Well it is and we have many tools that you need to use on a normal basis to help keep your computer running at tip top condition. More Slow Computer Articles

Question by Douglas D: Slow computer? My computer is running slow on the internet on some sites but not all of them. (Yahoo is one of the slow sites) It's also not that fast when the net is switched off. It's 18 months old. There is a fully updated virus infection protection system from my internet supplier. I have defragmented, cleaned up unnecessary files, kept the workings as ''clean''' as possible. Any suggestions about speeding things up? Thanks. Best answer for Slow computer?:

In Windows XP, do Ctrl - Alt - Del, and use the various Task Manager tabs to monitor your processor utilization and list of processes that are running (it's not unusual to have 60+ processes "running" in the processes list). That will tell you what is using your computer's resources, and which resources (processor, memory, virtual memory, etc.) are being used. You relieve the bottlenecks, and your machine may speed up. In future, to get more detailed responses to questions like this, include your Operating System, Processor Type, Memory amount, and other details, to give Answerers a better idea of your issues.

Slower internet connection could be a result of many factors. Unless your browser freezes up, u can exclude RAM issue. 1. Browser: which browser r u using. Firefox would be better choice when it comes to page loading speed. In firefox, use these settings tweaks to increase speed refer to this article http://tech-hutblog.blogspot.com/2008/02/tips-for-faster-internet-connection.html 2. Use "TCP optimizer". It will free up the windows share in your connection bandwidth
