I am constantly asked by family and friends, why my computer is so slow? They tell me that he bought a team of avant-garde and when used for the first time everything was fantastic.
After a couple of months later as a clock, they always come back and say, something is wrong with my team, is acting as the old. Everything is real slow and they are stuck, wait until the units to a wall.
I would normally ask a simple question everytime I hear that a team is working too slowly. Do I simply ask them how many programs you have running start in the taskbar?
Without hesitation they begin to check and it is often quite curious how to react. Most of the time people are aware that they have several programs running on your computer at any given time.
Each of these programs in the taskbar is working when he called a and some are really working behind the scenes, beyond the senses. Especially antiviral software programs are constantly go through your system to find any malicious activity or want to download new virus protection files.
When these programs are activated, each is using some of the random access memory on the computer. If for example you have 96 megs of RAM, this is the amount of memory that operates these existing open programs and their uses.
To find exactly how much memory RAM is the on your computer, simply click Start and search for 'My computer'. Instead of clicking on left, click with the mouse in 'my computer' and will appear a small 'list'. Now move the mouse down the list until you see 'Properties'.
Click Properties and then give him a box with a description of what is on your computer. The memory RAM or random access memory is usually last on the first page you are viewing.
At any given time, each program is using this memory. All memory stands out as having 100% of use, if you have 96Megs of Ram memory which is equal to 100%.
When you run any individual program behind the scenes of the system which uses a small percentage of the extra memory that is used to operate the program. A small software like ICQ program could use as much 3% of the RAM memory available on a system of 96 mg. And an operation of antiviral could be used much more depending on software of which company you are using. Some of them could use up to 30% or more of their available memory depending on how much you have. Even some ISP like AOL software systems could use a significant portion of the memory available.
If you have several programs running on your computer at the same time, then begins to devour his memory and under all these independent programs that they need as much memory will make system-wide damage and literally crash. Nowadays more and more people are buying equipment with higher amounts of RAM. A few years ago the team could be considered smokin' ' if had 96 MG of RAM!
Today under all the accessories including SPAM control, Virus monitoring, alerts Hacker etc.. a single team could easily eat 256 megs of RAM and the operator not understand the delays, because they felt that already bought a processor incredibly fast and some even use high speed Internet, feel they stole in the store where they bought their model.
Last year I went to the in-laws of my wife and this very thing happened. Bought a super fast team and released almost as cursed by the window because it moved at a snails pace. Even called the computer experts to solve the problem and paid $300.00. What they was a used cheaper motherboard that had nothing to do with the problem and the team was being slow as molasses.
They were in tears when showed, begging me to find the problem. He was at his team during 5 minutes and found your problem. Fell to one of the computer stores in the area and bought a chip of 512 MB to your model, to less than $50 and I installed easily on the easy clip the margin within the tower and his team began to fly as it had been when they first bought.
They were beyond grateful. They were ecstatic thought they spent all that money and which amounted to nothing more than a piece of garbage.
Today say, do not let no one deceive you. Simply check the speed of the RAM and locate all the programs in the taskbar that operate openly and behind the scenes. If you have 5 - 10 or more programmes active at any time and is this team. Then most likely you have a RAM problem.
Correct your problem of RAM is easy cake. If you do not know what can handle the task, simply search your brand in Internet and extended memory of research for that model. Find out what is your capacity for this model and add more memory. If you cannot add more memory is probably due to an old model which has been surpassed outside.
If this is your problem anything to do outside of delete or remove Active programs being used will help! Doing so could be detrimental to the vitality of your system. Many of these programs are to protect against external invaders and eliminate them could allow a fatal blow of a wily hacker.
