You can upgrade your CPU (higher frequency and cache)\nGet a motherboard with a faster FSB frequency\nIncrease your RAM\nGet exclusively high speed RAM\nDo not install any unoptimized programs\nRun exclusively programs written in assembly (such as MenuetOS)\n\nOr you could:\nNot use warez\nDon't go to porn sites\nMake sure your system is secure and stable - http://protractive.gdshadow.net/Protractive?action=display;board=softsec;num=1143459943\nMake sure your hard drive is healthy - e.g., by 'fsck'ing / 'chkdsk'ing every 30 or so mounts and defragmenting your drive if applicable\nAllow persistent memory caching to reduce costly IO operations (most OSes do this automatically with sufficient RAM)\nRun fewer background processes\nRun fewer processes at the same time\nRun thread-optimized code - instead of forking and other types of IPC, programs should use threads, if useful\nDisabling some types of security software can increase your system speed, but will result in a less secure system

well, a little more ram could help, but here are some other ways to make your startup and shutdown a little faster.  the reason it is so slow is because some programs startup automatically when windows start, but there are way to elminate the programs you don't want starting.  here are few articles on how to do it.\n\nhttp://help.cnet.com/speed_up_start_up/9602-12576_39-0.html?messageID=2508332&tag=tip-2508332&kw=speed+up+start+up\n\nhttp://help.cnet.com/speed_up_start_up/9602-12576_39-0.html?messageID=2505921&tag=tip-2505921&kw=speed+up+start+up

it really depends on the system as to wheather or not it has the capacity to operate at a faster rate. chack out your system  such as the hard drive size[how many gig. it is] the cpu speed[pentuiam 2, 3, or 4?..800mhz?] how much memory you have? 64? 128?256? these will tell you if you CAN run faster after you clean you your system or if your just going to waste your time and sanity..hope this helps..

You could use some tweaks that will free up memory and increase speed. A step by step guide on how to do this can be found here,\n\nhttp://www.tweakhound.com/xp/xptweaks/supertweaks1.htm

Defrag your hard drive partitions (All of them)\n\nYou can do this by going in:\nStart > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragmenter.\n\n(This may take an awfully long time!)\n\nIt makes your PC run faster.

Try this to speed things up.\n\nTools - Internet Options - Browsing History - Reduce Disk Space to 50.\n\nTools - Internet Options - Advanced - check box  HTTP 1.1 Settings - check box Use HTTP 1.1 through proxy connections\n\nI've done this and my pc is so much faster.\n\nBut bear in mind if you have a Web Site Filter on your anti virus, this will slow things down quite a bit anyway.

Defrag if it needs defragmenting then do a disk clean up every week or so. Won't really make your computer go super fast but as fast as it can go. Also get a good antivirus program such as Norton, McAfee or a free one is AVG. You could add more RAM and a better proccesor. If you dont want to spend that much money then go to some websites to try CPU overclocking. Although that may be for experienced computer users and may screw up your computer if done incorrectly. Also spyware slows down your computer. Download Spyware Doctor, Lavasoft, S&D. Another solution buy a faster computer. :)

One way, to make your computer faster, is to add more memory..It is not very expensive, and it will help your computer run better..You can never have to much memory..I hope this will help you..

Use the highest speed until/unless you have 'write' problems.\nThen I would cut the speed in half and see if it remedies the problem.  But usually it will be something else...

Only removing programs that run in the background (processes) will speed up your computer. Cntrl-Alt-Delete in Windows XP will allow you to see all of the processes in the task manager. Check the "performance" tab, if the Physical Memory (k) available is under 150,000... you might want to consider upgrading to more RAM. If the CPU is always running at %100... you might consider a new computer (or new processor/mobo, etc, but something tells me you're not going to do that). \n\nHope that helps. \n\nCommon programs that people run that eat up system memory:\nAOL\nInstant messengers\nUncessesary Anti-spyware duplicates (you only need one)

Hi Jeane,\n  In my site listed below under Computer Talk there is a section that you may want to read called Optimizing your systems performance.  There you can learn to do all kinds of things to remove files/programs, and speed up your system. For a great picture viewer, that allows you to do some neat stuff and is free, search for a program called irfanview.  This will allow you to see pics in a slide show, create thumbnails of them, resize and rotate, and a whole lot more.  Hope this helps.
