How can I make the computer faster after reinstalling the system? What should I pay attention to? Let's take a look at the experience of netizens.
First, the reasonable use of the hard disk
What is the reasonable use of the hard disk? First we need to understand the physical structure of the hard disk. A partitioned and formatted hard disk is based on a sector, and a partition is composed of a number of sectors. So what is a sector? We all know that the disk is rotating while it is working. The information it stores is recorded on its surface in a series of concentric circles. Each concentric circle is called a track. A sector has a size of 512 bytes, a whole ring is a track, and there are several sectors on a track, so it is easy to see that the larger the sector on the outer track, the larger the volume. The words are the lower the density, because the hard disk is mechanical transmission, so the speed of the search, read and write speed of the magnetic head is faster, the distribution of the partition is also from the outer ring to the inner ring, so the C disk is relative to the D disk. Outside, this is why we feel that the C drive is faster than the D, E and other partitions.
Understanding the above knowledge, we can use the hard disk reasonably! Take a new hard disk with a capacity of 60GB as an example: divide the C drive into 3 to 5GB (depending on the operating system), set the D drive to 1GB, set the E drive to 10GB, and save the watch. (It can be divided into F and G disks) —— has no effect on system speed.
How to use after the good area is the most critical:
1, the operating system installed on the C drive and MwIE, Foxmail, ICQ, QQ, FlashGet, super rabbit, player software and some viewing software Other commonly used small software is also installed on the C drive. If you use Microsoft's large software such as Office, you should also install it on the C drive. Of course, since we don't use all of the features, we have to customize the useful parts to save the C drive space! Then set the virtual memory to the D drive (just temporary ^_^) and then use the system's own disk defragmentation program to organize the C drive.
2. Use the system modification software such as "Wei Xiao Registry Optimization Master" to "My Documents", "Internet Buffer", "Internet History", "Favorites" And so on, you should always write and delete the folder set to the D drive to try to avoid other partitions to generate disk fragmentation and reduce hard drive performance!
3, install a variety of application software to the E disk, as the game can be installed in the F disk, G disk is used to store audio and video files.
4, another defragmentation of the C drive, and then complete the second big step below and then set the virtual memory to the C drive!
Second, the virtual memory settings
Setting the virtual memory to a fixed value is already a common "truth", and this is quite correct, but most people set it to the C drive. Other than the non-system partition, and its value is mostly 2 to 3 times the physical memory. Most people think that the larger the value, the better the performance of the system and the faster it runs! But this is not the case, because the system relies on virtual memory —— if the virtual memory is large, the system will start to use virtual memory when there is a lot of free space in the physical memory, but those that are not used yet are still Staying in physical memory, this will inevitably lead to a decline in memory performance!
The author started from 32MB memory to 512MB memory, and found that the above fact is very correct, virtual memory should be set to physical memory 0 to 1.5 times (0 times is how much? Is disabled! ^ _^) is good, and the larger the physical memory, the smaller the multiple should be. When the physical memory is equal to or greater than 512MB, most PCs can disable virtual memory, and the memory performance is the highest! ^_^
As for how much your virtual memory needs to be set, you have to try it yourself, because this is directly related to the size and size of the resident memory software and the software you usually run. I can't give a suggested value. You can set it to be the same as the physical memory before running several large software. If there is no abnormality, you can set it to half of the physical memory before running the large software. If an exception occurs. You must increase the value of virtual memory properly! By analogy, when you find the best value, just set this value to the C drive and it will be OK!
Note: If you are using WindowsME and below, you can download "MagnaRAM97" to optimize physical memory and virtual memory, which is even better! In addition, I recommend that you do not use the so-called software to optimize and organize memory!
Three, reasonable placement "Shortcuts"
In most cases, we run the software is usually the software's "shortcuts" to do, the hard drive is getting bigger and bigger, install There are more and more softwares, and many of my friends like to put shortcuts on the desktop. This will not only dazzle you, but also reduce system performance, and it will cause excessive system resources and make the system unstable. So we'd better control the shortcuts on the desktop to about 10, other shortcuts can be placed in the Start menu and the Quick Launch bar, and all software's "Uninstall" shortcuts are removed to improve system performance. Also, try not to have duplicate shortcuts.
Fourth, use caution "security class" software
The security software mentioned here refers to real-time anti-virus software and firewall. This kind of software is very large for system resources and CPU resources (somes are more than 30%). If you don't often go to the website, this kind of software is completely unnecessary! This is much more practical and convenient than overclocking the CPU! :
Five, reduce unnecessary random start-up procedures
This is a common problem, but many friends do not know what programs can be banned, what can not be banned, so many people did not carry out this step work. It is much simpler to have the optimization master. In the interface's "boot speed optimization", the optimization master will prompt you what can be banned and what can't be banned!
The benefits of doing this will not only speed up the startup, but also improve the stability of the system during operation!
6. Reasonable setting "icon cache"
Generally, the default icon cache of the system is relatively large, which obviously has a wasteful feeling, so we have to make appropriate adjustments to its value, we can use " Windows Optimizer " See how many icon caches the system has used, and then we set its value to about 2 times the actual size. Note: Some computers may not be able to be modified using the Optimizer, in which case you can use the "Super Rabbit Magic Settings" to make changes!
In addition, the desktop background should not be too complicated (recommended to be set to "no "), and some friends have also made an animated desktop, this practice has no practical significance, except that it will bring instability to the system. Outside of the factors, there is no good effect —— after all, we only have a small amount of time to face the desktop!
Seven, reasonable settings "Disk Cache"
System defaults are usually very conservative, so we have to make some modifications, we can also modify them in the "Windows Optimizer", just We need to manually enter the number, the minimum disk cache can be set to 2048 (KB), the maximum value is set to 25% of physical memory, and the buffer read and write unit is 512.
Note: This practice will bring great benefits to the stable operation of multimedia software, especially the setting of the minimum value is not too low!
Eight, try to streamline the right-click menu
Many programs will be left behind in the right-click menu after installation, many of which are not used by us, but it brings a burden to our system. To do this, we can streamline the right-click menu in software such as "Super Rabbit Magic Settings", usually just keep the usual ones! In addition, you'd better delete the useless items instead of just removing the small tick in front of them! This can effectively reduce the loss of response caused by the "New" menu!
Nine, the appropriate display refresh rate and resolution
Some friends always complain that their graphics card is too bad, some graphics cards are indeed a bit worse, but in many cases because the display refresh rate is set too high Caused by "illusion". Usually 15, 15 inches of color display will set the refresh rate to 75Hz or more (if the bandwidth is enough, of course, it can be higher), there is no need to force too high. Resolution is also the same reason, usually set to 800 & times; 600 or 1024 & times; 768 on the line, as long as it is enough, there is no need to play anything "ultimate" and "ashes". In this way, the speedup effect of the hyperband is much larger than that of the graphics card!
Conclusion
All in all, when you use the method of this article, you will find that the system is much faster than before! And it is much more stable.
