Speed Up PC Performance - Optimize Memory

How to Manually Optimize the Memory Usage?

You can optimize your computer's memory usage to reflect your specific needs. If your computer is used as a workstation instead of as a server, you can increase performance by devoting more memory to your programs. Your programs will work faster and the system cache size will remain the default size that was included with Windows XP. Or, you can set aside more computer memory for a larger system cache if your computer is used primarily as a server, or if you use programs that require a large system cache.

Speed Up PC Performance - Manage Processor Scheduling

How to Manually Manage Processor Scheduling for Better PC Performance?

There are a finite number of resources that are available for a computer's CPU. Windows manages these resources automatically, and can allocate tasks between processors or manage multiple processes on a single processor. You can adjust how Windows manages these resources by prioritizing them between the foreground programs and the background services.

Speed Up PC Performance - Overclocking CPU

Overclocking

How to achieve Overclocking?

Overclocking can be achieved in two ways:

• by modifying the multiplier coefficient (the motherboard will not experience any change in frequency, only the processor will run at a higher speed)
• by modifying the base frequency, in other words, the motherboard's frequency (the processor will then also experience an increase in frequency proportional to the multiplier coefficient).

Speed Up PC Performance - BIOS Optimization

What is the BIOS?

The BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is a small memory chip located on the motherboard containing data that define the system parameters. As some BIOS data are written in a ROM, it is not possible to change them, however, certain parameters are accessible from the BIOS setup, which can be enabled right after start-up, usually by pressing the <F1> or <DEL> key (it may be another key, in which case at start-up you will see a message like "HIT 'DEL' TO ENTER SETUP"). BIOS setup is a sort of "BIOS configuration panel".
