Let's call it "Increase Speed For Dummies"

aww
i liked the windows xp theme T_T
oh well
thx
 
You made a good guide, very well detailed good and too the point.
 
I did a couple of those... But i refuse to change the theme to classic and have a plain desktop. I prefer a computer with good looks and average speed to one with terrible looks and slightly better speed.
 
Thanks, With all the methods in there How much Mb usage does it take off usually?
 
I'm not going to lie.

I've narrowed your computers speed down to one component: Hard Drive RPM. This is basically how fast your computer finds information and is the difference between when your computer came out of the factory and now.

For the quickest HD known to date, get a solid state disks. I would not suggest this, as they are expensive as heck. They are excellent, mind you, for a computer where all you do is word documents, photoshop, and internet. Boot up times can be around 10 seconds using these.

Run 'em with Linux though, not WinXP, and they are just incredibly fast. May not be the best for a teenager's main computer, as they like to put music and a ton of programs on their hard drive, and you won't be able to fit all this stuff on your hard drive if it's too slow. Used on Asus's EEE PC.

Another cheaper option is 15,000 RPM HD's. I have a 7200 RPM HD, so this cuts the load time of all your programs in half. It's probably the best option. A 73 GB HD costs $170.
 
this helped me a lil
 
Thanks, I thought I was virused my comp was going so slow before ._.
 
Very detailed, but doesn't save you much RAM. Better off upgrading your RAM then dulling down your computer that much.

However, it is a good idea to get rid of useless start up drivers and programs. This will keep you from having to wait around while your system boots up.
 
thank you very much!! my computer works a lot faster now i was waiting for someone to release a guide like this i was just browsing sythe and then i saw it in this thread in the stickies section and i clicked it immediately, and i did everything it said and my comp worked way faster.. thanks again =]
