How Windows XP saves memory resources

As people's need for the network increases, a variety of different software came into being, in order to meet the needs of people, such as the situation of the computer's storage expansion of the state, many people to their own memory to expand and upgrade, but in this era of network popularization, unexpected changes to the system's share is also getting higher, such a shape How to deal with it? How to save memory when operating, reasonable use of each resource has become a big problem, then I talk about how to save memory by setting.

1. Optimize Memory data

In Windows, the more data resides in memory, the more memory resources are consumed. Therefore, do not set too many shortcut icons on the desktop and in the taskbar. If memory resources are more stressful, consider using as little as possible a variety of background-resident programs. Do not open too many files or windows when you are working on a computer. When you use your computer for a long time, if you do not restart your computer, the array of data in memory may be confusing, causing system performance to degrade. Then you need to consider restarting your computer.

2. Enable disk write caching

Right-click on My Computer to select Properties-> hardware, open Device Manager to locate the hard drive that is currently in use, and right-click [/url] to select Properties. On the policy page of the hard disk properties, turn on enable write caching on disk.

This option will activate the hard drive's write cache to increase the drive's read and write speed. Note, however, that when this feature is turned on, a sudden power outage on the computer can result in irreparable data loss. Therefore, it is best to turn this feature on with UPS. Of course, if you usually use the computer do not do any important data processing work, no UPS does not matter, this function will not cause too much damage to the system.

3. Turn off unwanted services

If you don't have a printer in your home, you can turn off the "Printerspooler" service. If you do not perform regular tasks, turn off the "TaskScheduler" service. For most people, "remoteregistry" is also useless and can be shut down. Below is a list of all the optimized services listed above, and I've labeled the optimized place with a red circle.

4. Open Ultramda

In Device management, select the basic/Secondary IDE controller in the IDEATA/ATAPI controller, right-click Select Properties, and open the Advanced Settings page. The most important setup item here is "transfer Mode", which should generally be selected as "DMA (if available)".

5. Monitor Memory

The system's memory, no matter how big, will always run out. Although there is virtual memory, but because the hard drive can not read and write speed compared with the speed of memory, so when using memory, you need to monitor the use of memory at all times. A System Monitor is available in the Windows operating system to monitor memory usage. In general, if only 60% of the memory resources available, then you should pay attention to adjust the memory, otherwise it will seriously affect the computer's operating speed and system performance.

6. Configure Recovery options

When a fatal error is encountered during Windows XP run, a snapshot of memory is saved as a file for system debugging purposes, and this file is useless for most ordinary users, but it can affect the performance of virtual memory. So it should be closed.

Right-click on My Computer, select Properties-> Advanced, click the Settings button under Performance, and select the Advanced page in Performance options. There is a "memory usage" option, and if you set it to system cache, Windows XP uses about 4MB of physical memory as a cache of read and write hard disks, which can greatly increase the speed of data exchange between physical and virtual memory. By default, this option is turned off, and if your computer has more physical memory, such as 256M or more, you might want to turn this option on. However, if physical memory is more stressful, the default option should be retained.

A computer speed and memory have a direct relationship, so in the operation should be careful to avoid some improper operation, and make your computer in operation is very slow, correct and reasonable use not only improve the speed also let you make full use of each resource.
