Tips for improving memory use efficiency

Although the memory of the computer is generally relatively large now, generally have 1GB of memory, and some even 2GB, 4GB, but because the user run the software itself larger, or open the File window more, or open the window more when the Internet, will also affect the speed of the system operation, seriously will affect the performance of the system. So, how to optimize the management of memory, improve the use of memory efficiency, as much as possible to improve the speed of running, is our concern.

Here are some ways to improve memory management in the use of Windows operating systems.

Method One, adjust the size of the cache area. The so-called cache, refers to the system to read the disk, the data on the disc, take the "pre-read" technology, that is, the estimated data will be read in advance to the memory of the buffer cache, so that the CPU in the cache to read data faster, thus increasing the speed of the operation. Setting up a cache memory in RAM can significantly speed up the reading of data. Windows can automatically set the size of the cache based on the size of the memory, and, of course, users can set the cache size in memory to optimize memory usage, depending on their memory usage. The method is as follows: On the desktop with the mouse right click on "My Computer"; Click Properties in the pop-up menu, click the Performance tab in the pop-up window, click the File System button below, click the Hard Disk tab, drag the read-only tuning lever to set the prefetch condition, and in the main purpose of the computer Column to set the ratio of the system to use the cache, if the system has more memory, you can choose "Network Server", so that the system will use more memory as the cache; in the CD-ROM tab, you can directly adjust how much memory the system uses as CD-XVIII) ROM CD ROM read-write cache, note The best way to access is to select four times times or faster so that the system sets the size of the cache depending on the situation, or you can adjust the buffer bar in the Append cache size bar, XXII, to append the cache.

Method two, monitor memory. No matter how big the memory of the system is, will always run out, although there is virtual memory, but because the hard drive can not read and write speed compared to the speed of memory, the large, frequent use of virtual memory will make the computer operation becomes unbearable, so when using memory, always monitor the use of memory. A System Monitor is available in the Windows operating system to monitor memory usage.

There is also a simple way, in any File window, select the "Help/About Windows" menu, in the open window can see the current memory usage, generally if only 60% of the memory resources available, then you should pay attention to adjust the memory, Otherwise it will seriously affect your running speed and system performance.

Method Three, release the memory in time. If you find that the system does not have much memory, you should pay attention to free memory. Freeing memory is the release of data that resides in memory from memory. The simplest and most efficient way to free memory is to restart the computer, and to turn off running programs that are temporarily unused, including programs that run in the background. Usually to develop such a good habit, at any time to close those temporarily unused programs, files or Windows. Some applications cannot be closed in a normal way, at this point will be a hot start, such as press the "Ctrl+alt+del", and also note that if a picture or image is stored in the Clipboard, the picture or image is to occupy a large amount of memory, then as long as a few words to clip, you can put the memory of the original image of the Clipboard Wash off , freeing up the amount of memory it occupies, and printing files in the background can also consume a lot of memory space.

Method Four, optimize the data in memory. In Windows, the more data residing in memory, such as the shortcut icons on the desktop, the icons in the taskbar, the time in the system tray, and so on, occupy memory resources. Therefore, do not set too many shortcut icons on the desktop and in the taskbar. If memory resources are more stressful, consider optimizing these projects to minimize the use of a variety of background-resident programs, especially poorly designed programs, to occupy a large amount of memory resources. Usually in the operation of the computer, do not open too many files or windows, or in the program to open too many data files, if opened, no longer in time to close these files or Windows.

In addition, after a long period of time using the computer, if you do not restart the computer, the data in the memory of the arrangement may be more confusing and cause the performance of the system decreased, then you should consider restarting the computer.

Methods five, improve the performance of other parts of the system. Other parts of the computer performance, the use of memory also has a greater impact, such as bus type, CPU, hard disk, memory and so on. If the video memory is too small, and the amount of data displayed is large, no amount of memory can improve the speed and efficiency of the system. If the hard disk speed is too slow, especially the average seek time and speed is too slow, it will seriously affect the system's virtual memory read and write speed and the use of efficiency, resulting in a decrease in the efficiency of the whole system.
