kelp 0 Report post Posted September 12, 2004 Doesn't the MenuShow Delay just speed up the start menu, not really windows? I wouldn't set it to 0 if you have a slow computer because if you mouse over on the menubars it'll come up real fast which will make it slower because it has to load all that information. But if you have a fast computer and you're tired of waiting for the stuff to come out, go for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chickenside 0 Report post Posted September 12, 2004 Interesting.I just defrag all the time. But I heard there is a way to devote hard drive space to become RAM. Is this true? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
currahee 0 Report post Posted September 12, 2004 Nope and if there was a program it would be a dud. Maybe you're thinking of virtual memory? Virtual memory is not the same as RAM but its a rather HUGE temporary file located on the Hard Disk. Every computer needs memory but people can't just afford 1GB or 2GB of memory. Don't get me wrong though, if you have a 1GB PF space you don't have 1GB of RAM. Physical RAM is the actual RAM and its hudreds of times faster than the HDD.

almoo7 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2004 You could also terminate some useless processes that are currently running on your system. That way, your computer would use less memory and would run faster. Well, you could always turn on those processes again if you need them or if better yet, terminate and uninstall them if they are just plain useless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nathan2004 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2004 Interesting. I just defrag all the time. But I heard there is a way to devote hard drive space to become RAM. Is this true? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> By default , Windows will automatically use hard drive space for extra memory if window needs more Ram memory and you hardware RAM is full. This process is called virtual memory process. It was invented by DEC more than a decade ago to speed up the computers with little amount of RAM. You may be able to reduce the amount of hard drive allocated for virtual memory and therefore speed up the computer when you have a lot of RAM. It takes more time to access memory in the hard drive. Some programs was able to teak windows virtual memory settings. I have learned the hard way that those programs will be messed up if you upgrade your windows OS. They would actually slow down your computer. I think with the cost of RAM is going down, the best way is to buy more RAM. Depending on you applications, most of the time Windows XP will run fast if you have 512 Megs of memory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
