Re: How to make your PC faster?
A lot of programs like to run small programs automatically and if you know what you are doing you can turn some of them off. That will free up resources. winpatrol will help you do this however this is an advanced operation. When you see what is running research what the program does before you decide to prevent it from running and stay away from messing with the windows programs or you can cause instability. You'll have the ability to either disable or remove a start up program and I would choose disable instead of remove that way you can undo this if you need to. Remove doesn't actually remove the program but it is harder to undo. If you want you can post the entries and we can try to help you decide what you can safely turn off.
You'll be amazed at how much resources you can free up [both memory and CPU] however, again, this is an advanced procedure so we cannot be held responsible.
What do you do most with your computer? Internet,office, etc or do you do a lot of heavy gaming? 512 MB should be fine if you are efficient with your resources unless you do heavy gaming, video editing, etc. It is my recommended minimum for XP.
