Organize and Improve Performance Windows XP





Windows XP provides tools and programs designed to set your computer to keep it running at maximum capacity. Window XP allocates resources based on its setting and then set the device. However, you can change how Windows XP uses processor time (processor time) and computer memory to improve performance. You can also adjust the settings of your computer visual effects.

Window XP allocates resources based on its setting and then set the device. However, you can change how Windows XP uses processor time (processor time) and computer memory to improve performance. You can also adjust the settings of your computer visual effects.
Memory and PerformanceMicrosoft recommends that the computer that is running Windows XP must have at least 128 MB of memory (256 MB on, to play 3D games 512 MB). With this much memory, Windows XP can consistently demonstrate superiority of Windows ever. Many users increase the amount of memory to maximize its multimedia capabilities and get better performance.
In general, the addition of memory is the easiest and most effective way to improve computer performance. Although recommended, Windows XP does not require a RAM of 128 MB. The operating system can be run with 64 MB of RAM. For activities such as web browsing, e-mail, and other activities, with 64 MB of RAM you will get equivalent performance with Windows Millennium Edition (Windows Me).
Other Factors Affecting PerformanceRegardless of the application used, CPU speed can affect performance. Windows XP does not require a high-minimum hardware Pentium II 300 MHz-but the system can get more leverage with faster hardware. The operating system, particularly user interface (UI) of Windows XP, sensitive to graphics systems and graphics drivers. Video card will facilitate processing onboard RAM is used by the operating system and applications.
Set Processor TimeProcessing system is managed by Windows that can allocate tasks between processors, including arranging multiple processes on a single processor. However, you can set Windows to allocate more processor time to the program being executed. This results in a faster program response. Or, if you have background programs such as printing or disk back-up who wants to run while working, you can set Windows to share equitably the processor between background and foreground programs.
Computer Memory SetWhen your computer is running low on RAM and more is needed immediately, Windows uses hard drive space to simulate system RAM. This is known as virtual memory or paging file is often called. This is similar to the UNIX swapfile. The default size for virtual memory file (named pagefile.sys) created during installation is 1.5 times the amount of RAM on your computer.
You can optimize virtual memory use by dividing the space between multiple drives and removing of hard drive that slow or heavily accessed. The best way to optimize your virtual memory space is divided into many as possible hard drive.
You can optimize the use of computer memory. If more are using the computer as a workstation, not a server, you can allocate more memory to your program. Your program will work faster and your system cache size and will have the size of the default Windows XP. You can also allocate more computer memory cache transform and get a larger system, if the computer is used as a server or if you use programs that require a larger cache.
Changing Visual EffectsWindows provides several options to set the visual effects of your computer. For example, you can display shadows under menus, and to give them a 3-D view. You can ask Windows to display the entire contents of a window when you move it on the screen. Enhanced text readability, you can smooth screen fonts. You can also run the web interface on the folder, which will feature a number of hyperlinks and the information folder in the left window.
Windows provides an option to run all of the settings (for best viewing), or turn off all of the settings (for best computer performance). You can also restore the original default settings.
Guide to Choosing Drive to Virtual MemoryFirst, try to avoid using the pagefile on the same drive with the file system. Second, avoid placing the pagefile on a fault-tolerant drive, such as mirrored volumes or RAID-5 volumes. Pagefile not need fault-tolerance, and some fault-tolerance systems have a data writing speed is low because they write data to multiple locations. Third, do not put some of the pagefile on a different partition on the same physical disk.
Changing the Background and Foreground Program Performance1. Open System in Control Panel.2. On the Advanced tab, under Performance, click Settings.3. On the Advanced tab, under Processor scheduling, do one of the following:* Click Program to provide more processor resources to the foreground program than the background program.* Click the Background Services to share processor resources equally to all programs.
Note:* To open System, click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click System.* Selecting Program will accelerate the response foreground program. If you want a background task, such as Backup utility, to run faster, select Background services.* Programs allocate part time (time slices) or quanta shorter and varied, while the Background services and allocate fixed quanta long.
Changing File Size Virtual Memory1. Open System in Control Panel.2. On the Advanced tab, under Performance, click Settings.3. On the Advanced tab, under Virtual memory, click Change.4. Under Drive [Volume Label], click the drive that contains the paging file you want to change.5. Under Paging file size for selected drive, click Custom size, and enter a new paging file size in megabytes in the Initial size (MB) or Maximum size (MB), and then click Set.
If you decrease the size of the initial or maximum, you must restart the computer for the changes to take effect. At the time of increase usually does not require a restart.
Note:* For Windows choose the best paging file size, click System managed size.* For best performance, do not set the initial size is less than the minimum recommended size under Total paging size for all drives. The recommended size is equivalent to 1.5 times the RAM on kompter. Normally, you should leave the paging file size is recommended, although you can increase its size if you frequently use programs that require a lot of memory.* To delete a paging file, set the initial size and maximum size to the mole or click No paging file. Microsoft strongly recommends that you do not disable or delete the paging file.
