Nine strokes make the hard drive faster and the system more stable

Let the hard disk faster, so that the system more stable, summed up there are nine links, the following one by one.

One, the rational use of hard disk

What is the rational use of the hard disk? First, we need to understand the physical structure of the hard disk disc. partitions and formatted hard disks are sector-based, and a partition is composed of several sectors. What is a sector? We all know that the disk is rotating at work, and that the information it stores is recorded on its surface in a series of concentric circles, each concentric circle is called a track, and in Figure 1 we can see the distribution of tracks and sectors (of course, this is only a schematic, the object is much more dense than the figure!), Many friends think that the red "big" is a sector, but the correct understanding should be yellow that small piece for a sector. A sector size of 512 bytes, a whole ring for a track, a track has a number of sectors, so we can not be difficult to see, the more on the outside of the track of a single sector of its volume, in other words is its density is smaller, because the hard drive is a mechanical drive, so the head to its search, read, write speed is faster, The distribution of the partition is also from the outer ring to the inner ring, so the C disk relative to the D plate and so on the outside, this is why we feel the C-disk than D, E and other partitions to be faster reasons.

Understand the above knowledge, we will be able to use the hard drive! Take a new hard disk with a capacity of 60GB as an example to illustrate: The C-Disk is divided into 3 to 5GB (depending on the operating system), the D drive to 1GB, the e-set to 10GB, save the look set it (can be divided into F and g)- has no effect on system speed.

How to use after a good section is the most critical:

1, the operating system installed on the C-disk and the Mwie, Foxmail, ICQ, QQ, FlashGet, Super Rabbit, player software and some of the software, such as looking at a small number of common software is also mounted on the C disk. If you use Microsoft's large software, such as office, install it on drive C. Of course, since we won't be able to use all of these features, we want to customize the installation of those useful parts to save C-space! Then set the virtual memory on the D-disk (only temporarily ^_^) and then use the system's own Disk Defragmenter program to organize the C-drive.

2, the use of "micro-Xiao Registry optimization master," such as system modification software to "My Documents", "Internet buffering", "Internet History", "favorites" and other frequently to write, delete the operation of the folder set to D disk to try to avoid other partitions to create disk fragmentation and reduce hard disk performance!

3, the application software installed to the e-disk, as for the game can be installed in the F-disk, G-Disk for the storage of audio and video files.

4, the C drive again to defragment, and then finish the following second step after the virtual memory set to the C drive!

Second, the virtual memory settings

Setting the virtual memory to a fixed value is already a universal "truth", and it is quite true, but most people set it to a non-system partition other than the C-drive, and its value is more than three times the physical memory. Most people think that the bigger the value, the better the performance and the faster it will be! But that's not true because the system relies on virtual memory--if the virtual memory is large, the system starts using virtual memory when there is a lot of free space in physical memory, and those things that are not used are still stuck in physical memory. This will inevitably lead to a decline in memory performance!

So I start from 32MB memory to 512MB memory, and found that the above mentioned fact is very correct, virtual memory should be set to physical memory 0 to 1.5 times times (0 times times how much ah?) is disabled! ^_^) as well, and the larger the physical memory, the greater the multiplier should be smaller instead of larger. When physical memory is equal to or greater than 512MB, the vast majority of PCs can disable virtual memory, then memory performance is the highest! ^_^

As to how big your virtual memory is going to be, you have to try it yourself because it is directly related to the amount and size of the resident memory software and the software you normally run, so I can't give the recommended value. You can set it to physical memory equivalent, then run a few large software, if there is no abnormal situation, you will be more than half of the physical memory and then run the few large software, if there is an exception, you should increase the value of virtual memory properly! And so on, When you find the best value, just set the value to C drive OK!:)

Note: If you are using Windows Me and the following operating systems, you can download "Magnaram 97" to optimize the physical memory and virtual memory, the effect is better! Also, I recommend that you do not use the so-called optimization and collation of memory software!

Third, reasonable positioning "shortcut"

Most of the time, we run the software is usually the software "shortcut" to do, the hard disk is getting bigger, more and more software installed, many friends like to put shortcuts on the desktop, so that not only dazzled you, but also the system performance will be reduced, and will cause system resources to occupy too large and make the system unstable, so we'd better control the desktop shortcut on the 10 or so, the other shortcuts can be placed all in the Start menu and the Quick Launch bar, and all the software's "uninstall" shortcut to remove to improve system performance. Also, try not to have duplicate shortcuts.

Iv. using "safety class" software carefully

The security software mentioned here refers to the real-time anti-rescue calender and firewall. This kind of software to the system resources and CPU resources is very large (some up to 30%), if you do not frequently on the assorted site, such software is not necessary to use! This is more practical and convenient than overclocking the CPU!:)

V. Reduce unnecessary random start-up procedures

This is a commonplace problem, but many friends do not know what procedures can be banned, what is not prohibited, so many people do not carry out this step of the work. It's much easier to have a master of optimization, in the "power-up speed optimization" in Figure 2, the master will prompt you what can be forbidden and what cannot be forbidden!

In addition to speeding up the start-up speed, it can also improve the stability of the system in operation!

Six, reasonable set "icon cache"

Usually the system default icon cache is relatively large, this is obviously wasteful feeling, so we want to make the appropriate adjustment of its value, we can use "Windows Optimizer" to see how many of the current system has used the icon cache, and then we set its value to the actual size of about twice times. Note: Some computers may not be able to use the optimizer to modify, you can use the "Super Bunny Magic Settings" to modify!

In addition, the desktop background also do not make too complex (proposed to set to "none"), some friends also made the animated desktop, this practice does not have any practical significance, in addition to the system will bring unstable factors, there is no good role-after all, we have little time to face the desktop! ^_^

Seven, reasonable set "disk cache"

System defaults are usually very conservative, so we have to make some changes, we can also be modified in the "Windows Optimizer", but we have to manually enter the numbers, the minimum disk cache can be set to 2048 (KB), the maximum value is set to 25% of physical memory, The buffer read-write unit is 512.

Note: This practice will bring great benefits to the stable operation of multimedia software, especially the setting of minimum value is not too low!

Eight, as far as possible to streamline the right-click menu

Many programs in the right-click menu after the installation will leave a figure, many of which we can not use, but it has brought a burden on our system. To do this, we can simplify the right-click menu in the "Super Bunny Magic Settings" software, usually just keep the usual ones! In addition, you'd better remove the useless items instead of simply removing the small tick from the front!

This can effectively reduce the loss of response caused by the "new" Menu!

Nine, the appropriate display refresh rate and resolution

Some friends always complain that their graphics card is too bad, some of the graphics card is really bad, but in many cases because the display refresh rate is set too high due to the "illusion." Usually 15, 17-inch color display will set the refresh rate of more than 75Hz on the line (if the bandwidth is certainly higher), there is no need to force too high. Resolution is also the same principle, usually set to 800x600 or 1024x768 on the line, as long as the good enough, there is no need to play what "ultimate" and "ashes."

This is much faster than overclocking the graphics card!

Conclusion

All in all, when you use the method in this article, you will find that the system is much faster than before! And it's a lot more stable! ^_^ In addition to the contents of this article, after some optimization has been made to make the system simple point is no harm. Flashy useless! Please try it, then know more than words are not absurd also! Good luck!
