Microsoft Interruption
Microsoft has some speed issues. Their software is unable to run on the average machine these days. I have listed numerous methods to quicken browsing and hardware reflection in software. Vista requires something like 700mb of RAM just to run. XP required only perhaps ~150MB on a good day.
Open the BIOS at startup and set your ram to run at 2T instead of 3T. This reduces a possible RAM bottleneck by 33% immediately.
Install WINUSCON from www.majorgeeks.com and examine your startup programs and services. Disable any services that you do not want. YPager is a common application that will never announce itself but runs at startup and doesn't do anything except use up 15-25MB of RAM, sometimes more, and slow down your startup.
You might also want to go to www.driverheaven.com and download TuneXP 1.5, if you run Windows XP. It can help you do numerous positive tasks for your system that you'd need to spend hours researching to understand that they even exist.
You could also go into System in the control panel and set your processor or RAM to run more intensively through programs or background processes, depending on how much resources you have and how much multitasking you do. You can also adjust your virtual memory to the highest allowable setting, usually in the GB range. This requires those GB of HD space.
Always download the latest drivers, do not use custom drivers. Do not try overclocking a laptop. Do not bother overclocking a system with few resources. RAM upgrades often do the trick for an old computer. Video card upgrades substantially extend the gaming life of a machine. Mozilla has an "about:config" directory, if you type it into the address line.
Note that good has authority over evil, and all good is together.
