Several Good Ways to Improve Memory Usage Performance in Windows

How to optimize memory management, improve memory usage efficiency, and improve running speed as much as possible The problem. The following describes several ways to improve memory usage efficiency and optimize memory management in the Windows operating system.

Method 1: Adjust the size of the cache area

You can set the ratio of the system to use the cache in the "Main use of computer" tab? For Windows 98). If the system has more memory, you can select "network server", so the system will use more memory as the cache. In the CD-ROM tab, you can directly adjust how much memory the system uses as a cache for reading and writing CD-ROM discs.

Method 2: Monitor Memory

No matter how big the system's memory is, it will always run out. Although there is virtual memory, since the read/write speed of the hard disk cannot be compared with the speed of the memory, when using the memory, it is necessary to monitor the memory usage at all times. A system monitor is provided in the Windows operating system to monitor memory usage. Generally, if only 60% of the memory resources are available, you should pay attention to adjusting the memory, otherwise it will seriously affect the running speed and system performance of the computer.

Method 3: Free up memory space in time

If you find that the system has less memory, you should pay attention to freeing memory. The so-called release of memory is to release the data residing in the memory from the memory. The easiest and most effective way to free up memory is to restart your computer. In addition, it is to close the program that is not used temporarily. Also note that if you store image data in the clipboard, it will take up a lot of memory space. At this time, as long as a few words are clipped, the original image on the clipboard in the memory can be flushed out, thereby releasing a large amount of memory occupied by it.

Method 4: Optimize Data in Memory

In Windows, the more data that resides in memory, the more memory resources are used. Therefore, the shortcut icons on the desktop and in the taskbar should not be set too much. If memory resources are tight, consider using as few background residing programs as possible. Do not open too many files or windows while you are operating your computer. After using the computer for a long time, if the computer is not restarted, the data arrangement in the memory may be confusing, resulting in a decline in system performance. Then you have to consider restarting your computer.

Method 5: Improve the performance of other parts of the system

The performance of other parts of the computer also has a greater impact on the use of memory, such as bus type, CPU, hard disk and video memory. If the memory is too small and the amount of data displayed is large, it is impossible to increase the speed and system efficiency of the memory. If the speed of the hard disk is too slow, it will seriously affect the work of the entire system.
