If you have an older slow computer.

I love to work with computers. The best fix for an older computer to make it run faster is to give it more ram. This lets the processor have access to more data faster. I would say for a computer to run well these days it needs at least 786 mb of ram if running xp or 1 gb if running vista.

There is an article on ram at this web site.

  1. I have approximately 2 gigabytes of RAM and I'm currently using the Windows 7 Release Candidate (not the beta, but not the official release) and with that amount, it runs buttery smooth! I'd like to have more, and it would help. It also helps to clear the temporary files, run anti-virus and anti-spyware software every day for smooth performance!

  2. I am running windows 7 rc on my laptop. It has 1 gb of ram and a dual core 1.6 cpu. It runs perfectly with no problems. It looks great and I am really excited for it to really come out. It found all of my hardware drivers quickly on the internet for me. I love windows 7.
