Optimizing the memory efficiency of Windows system (2)

4, clear the page file

There is a "ClearPageFileAtShutdown" in the same location, set the value It is "1". The "clear" page file mentioned here does not mean that the pagefile.sys file is completely deleted from the hard disk, but it is "cleaned" and organized to prepare for better use of virtual memory when starting Windows XP next time. .

Comments: This article explains the concept and optimization method of virtual memory in more detail. Let us understand its working relationship between memory and hard disk, and realize that virtual memory is not as large as possible, but should be adjusted according to the specific configuration of the computer. I believe that after you really understand and master the role and optimization of virtual memory, you will definitely improve the performance of your love machine.

5, adjust the size of the cache area

You can set the proportion of the system utilization cache (for Windows 98) in the "main purpose of the computer" tab. 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.

6, monitoring memory

The system's memory, no matter how big, 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.

7, release the memory space in time

If you find that the system's memory is not much, you should pay attention to release the 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.

8, optimize the data in memory

In Windows, the more data in the resident memory, the more memory resources. 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.

9, improve the performance of other parts of the system

The performance of other parts of the computer also have 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.
