Question
-
hi,
to make the performnance better after a while
I know that I have,to clean up hard disk first, but when I run harddisk clean up wizard I see a lot of options that you can choose to clean the harddisk , but I know also that is not wise to choose all of this options here , my question is which options in this wizard is wize to vink and clean when I want to make some space on harddisk?
2--I read also if I want to speed up performance I have to delete virtual memory then I have to run disk defragmentation and then I have to make a new virtual memory which wil be at least 1 and halve time bigger than the real memory and it is better if I make the virtual memory on a partition which has not OS. do you agree whith this advise?
3- I have also heard from MVP"rs that third party register cleaners wil make more harm than speed the performance!
4- how I know which services I have to enable and disable?
5-if I upgrade the memory from 4 GB to six GB for example wil that effect the performance?
6-is there also in internet options any things to clean to speed the performance?
very short answers wil be enough.
thanks
johan

Hi,
1,Detailed description of using disk cleanup in the following link, I usually just choose all, then OK, it will not cause any damages.
Delete files using Disk Cleanup
2,For virtual memory, maybe this blog can help you
Learn Best Practices for Optimizing the Virtual Memory Configuration
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ff382717.aspx
3, Many third party software can provide some help in some cases but not all, so be careful to use it.
4,For services, it depends on what you need, but some services running in the background are very important, when you want to disable some services, I suggest you first refer to some useful articles.
5, Actually I think it all depends what you want to do with your computer. if you use graphic programs like 3D Max or play games with high resolution graphic ,then you need bigger rams. if it is just for normal use like surfing the internet, I think a smaller ram is also fine,
6,To speed up the internet connection? Please view this link
