I am sure you've heard a lot of things about computer optimization. Everywhere you look you see ads that invite you to "boost your performance" or "improve your computer". So, what's the idea? Is anything true about it? Does your computer really need optimization?
Unfortunately, it does. There are many weak zones in Windows operating system. Here are a few of them:
- registry
- hardware management
- internet connection
Registries are Windows's internal database. All sort of information are stored there, from hardware and drivers info to applications' settings. After each removal of any device, like a printer or video card, pieces of information remain there. The biggest problem is when you uninstall a program. Unfortunately, many applications fail to erase all their data on removal. A solution for this is to run "regedit" and manually search for all references to the program and erase them.
By hardware management I mean memory and hard-disk management. As you know, each program uses some of your computer's memory. Memory allocation is determined by how much the program needs and, of course, if the resource is available. When the application stops, the used blocks of memory should be freed. But this is not happening all the time. So, when a new programs requests memory to run, your computer will slow down because it will compete with other applications for the remaining resources.
The same situation appears when you remove files from your computer. They are not really erased. They remain on your hard-disk and affect other files that you want to read or write. It's the same principle as described above regarding memory usage. To avoid problems you should use at least once a month a hard-disk defragmenter, in order to clean remaining pieces of information.
Because so many people use the Internet today, internet
speed has become very important. I am talking about download speed and browsing speed. Actually it's the same concept. When you browse a webpage, you computer creates by default a channel with the page's server and starts downloading it. Download speed is of course given first of all by your internet subscription, but there is something that affects it too. The connection channel can be single threaded or multi threaded. As I said that channel is by default single threaded. What your computer should do is to break the downloaded file (image, text, archive, etc) into several smaller parts, and create a download channel for each of them. After they are all downloaded it should, of course, rebuild the source. That is what all download accelerators do.
Those are only a few ideas why your computer needs optimization. Registry tweaking, memory flushing, hard-disk defragmenters and an accelerated Internet connection would speedup your activity because you won't have to loose so much time waiting...
You can find several software releases that would do the job on CoreDownload, a software archive with over 23.000 titles to choose from.

How to ?Download? Your Old Computer to the Highest Bidder
How to ?Download? Your Old Computer to the Highest Bidder
by: Donald Lee
When you think trash, you surely don?t think about your old, trusty personal computer. But that?s exactly what will become of it when you make the inevitable move toward your next laptop or desktop. And, yes, buying a new computer is inevitable, considering the pace at which computer technology zips along. Just think?about a handful of years ago, a fast microprocessor for a laptop was at 233 MHz. Now you?re looking at about at least 2 GHz! That?s Giga, with a G.
So eventually, you will want a computer that can handle the latest software, the latest games, and the latest interactive Web sites, and then you?ll have to throw away your old computer, right? Wrong. Try selling your used computer instead. Throwing out your computer is one of the worst things you can do. For one, your computer may be useful for someone out there, even if just for scraps.

Day Trading Computer
Day Trading Computer
by: Dan Alvarez
Computers are so cheap nowadays that almost any new computer will be sufficient for day trading. Below I will highlight the basic components that you need for your day trading system: hardware, software, Internet connection, and system protection.
Hardware for day trading
This is a typical trading computer setup with two monitors connected to the same computer. This allows the day trader to expand the trading screen across both monitors as if was one big rectangular monitor. Thus, more graphs and other market data can be observed by the day trader at the same time. Even though I do not have a Ph.D. in computers, I have used and helped people set up computers for day trading, and know other people that use computers for the same thing. Below I have provided the minimum general specifications for day traders followed by the preferred specifications (in parentheses):

The next printer you?ll want on your desk is a color laser printer.

Building A Computer - Picking Components
Picking the parts for your computer is one of the most important things in building a computer, because you cant assemble a computer without the parts! Picking parts for computers has become much easier than before, because things have been standardized, however, you need to make sure everything will fit. The first thing to think about when choosing the components for your computer is what you are going to be using it for. If you are creating a computer for just checking your eMail and using word, you are going to need much diffrent parts than a computer that you are going to be using for gaming.
CPU
The first thing you should pick out about your computer is what CPU you are going to use, because it determines what motherboard you are going to get, which determines what other components you get. There are two main CPU manufactruers,...
