1:
Buy a good computer to start with.
Expose the computer to as little heat and dust as possible.
Keep your operating system software up to date.
2:
Have a good antivirus program and keep it up to date.
I recommend Norton Antivirus.
3:
Rid your computer of spyware.
I use three spyware detection programs and keep them up to date.
Spybot search and destroy is one to have.
4:
Don’t clutter your computer with a lot of unnecessary programs.
Have priorities some for fun and some for work.
5:
Dump your temporary internet files at least once a week.
6:
If you use system restore, I recommend using disk clean up
To clean old restore points that are no longer needed.
If your computer is running good and you haven’t installed
Any new software for a while, this is the time to clean all but the last restore point.
7:
Here is the key.
Defragment your hard drive or drives,
Every two weeks. This will give very noticeable results
When used in conjunction with the above.
8:
You could shut down unnecessary visual effects,
For some added speed.
If you like effects, just use efficient ones.
9:
Don’t overload your internet browser
With a lot of after market tool bars or add-ons.
10:
512 MB ram minimum.
Take this advice at your own risk.
