well If youput your PC into the Geo synchronous orbit it will definitely run faster. If you need more speed you can try interplanetary orbits.\nJust be sure to use more system fans as the temperatures are very high at such speeds.\n\nAlso you are advised to wear a helmet

It depends on what you mean by speed.  If your computer seems to be running slow, the frist thing to do is to clean out all those junk files and old registry entries, I like using CCleaner, http://www.ccleaner.com/ and while it cannot make your computer faster TuneXP can make your computer "feel" faster by optimizing Windows, http://www.driverheaven.net/dforce/default.php after that there are a number of tweaks explained here, http://www.connectedinternet.co.uk/blog/_archives/2005/12/5/1434755.html and here, http://www.connectedinternet.co.uk/blog/_archives/2006/1/12/1658713.html, follow the instructions to the letter but TuneXP will have already applied some of those tweaks but not all of them.  Also, to get your PC booting faster, set your hard drive as the first boot device (through the BIOS) and then get BootVis, http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=664 BootVis was a program designed by Microsoft to cold boot Windows XP in less than 30 seconds (I got mine down to 25 seconds without disabling any major components/drivers).  Of course my PC is also faster than the average.\n\nUnless your motherboard supports it, you might be able to overclock your CPU (AMD processors are very overclockable in most cases) but if your motherboard doesn't support it, don't try it.  My Gigabyte motherboard came with EasyTune 5 so I used that to test overclocking and my Athlon 64 3700+ is overclocked to 2.6GHz (stock heatsink/fan) up from 2.2GHz.  It's fast...\n\nAlso, consider defragging your hard drive, either with Diskeeper (my personal favorite) or the one that is built into Windows, my personal opinion is that Diskeeper does a better job but it cannot defrag the paging file.  In order to defrag the paging file you will need to get a free program called PageDefrag, http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/PageDefrag.html which will be run at boot time.  The paging file cannot be defragged while you are in Windows.  Diskeeper is not free by the way but they do have the freeware Diskeeper Lite floating around out there, though it is no longer officially supported or available on the Diskeeper site, you really have to look for it.

The cheapest and most effective way is to add more memory. Whatever you've got in there now, double it.\n\nAlso, consider removing Norton (which is a crock) and replacing it with AVGFree from Grisoft (www.grisoft.com). It's much, much faster.

Things to do to keep your computer running fast:\n\n1.) Install spyware protection. Use "Adaware Se" and "SpyBot Search & Destroy", both are free. Run a scan on each, at least, twice a week. Be sure to check for definition updates before running scans.\n\nGet "Adaware Se" here......\nhttp://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/\n\nGet "SpyBot Search & Destroy" here.......\nhttp://www.spybot.info/en/index.html\n\n2.) Innoculate your PC from spyware. There is a program that keeps spyware from even being installed on the hard-drive in the first place. It's a free program called "SpywareGuard". Before running this program, scan with "Adware Se" and "Spybot" first, then open up "SpywareGuard" and check for definition updates, install updates, then do a "system snapshot" to keep the spyware in the definition database from ever installing on your PC. Remember, always scan with the two spyware programs I mentioned first ( check for updates), then use "SpywareGuard".\n\nGet "SpywareGuard" here........\nhttp://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareguard.html\n\n3.) If you install and uninstall programs regularly, your hard-drive gets defragmented faster, this slows down the PC. Defrag your hard-drive about once a week if you're always adding and removing programs. Less often, if you don't, maybe once or twice a month. Use windows built-in defragment program for this, if you don't own a purchased one already.\n\n4.) Use a program to clean out all of the junk files accumulated on hard-drive over a period of time. The best free program on the market for this is called "CCleaner". This program cleans out the registry as well.\n\nGet "CCleaner" here.......\nhttp://www.ccleaner.com/\n\n5.) Install more memory. The more programs you install and use, especially if you run several at one time, the more memory will be used up, this will bring your system to a crawl if you do not have sufficient enough memory installed to suppliment all of those programs being used. \n\nThere is a website with a free tool that scans your system to determine the kind of ram you have installed, the amount of that installed ram, how many slots are being used, and how many are available. This tool will determine the EXACT kind of ram you need, guaranteed!! You can then, either order that ram from their website, or, from some other source. \n\nThat website can be found here........\nhttp://www.crucial.com/\n\n6.) Always, and I mean ALWAYS use "FireFox" as your main browser. Internet Explorer is an ABSOLUTE spyware magnet......never ever use that browser unless your life depends on it.\n\nGet "FireFox" here........\nhttp://www.mozilla.com/firefox/\n\n7.) Be sure to stay far away from any "AOL" software products, this includes those free discs that are constantly being sent out to our homes. Stay away from any products associated with "AOL" as well. If you currently have any of this software installed on your computer, please uninstall it immediately!!!! This kind of software is the ULTIMATE in the area of PC parasites.......they will bring your system down in a hurry!!\n\nHere's to speedy times ahead. :)

Start --> control panel --> system --> advanced tab --> performance.  Change virtual memory.\n\nBut first I would do a disk clean up and defrag (start --> all programs --> accessories --> system tools --> disk cleanup and after completed, defrag.)

The following steps should speed up your PC:\n\n1. Run Disk clean-up. Then delete unused files. (start>program>accessories>sys... tools> disk clean-up)\n2. Check for disk errors. (right click on a disk-drive>properties>tools >error checking, then restart)\n3. Run disk defragmenter.\n4. Delete cookies. (you can do it from your browser options: tools>internet options)\n5. Delete cache or temporary files. (you can do it from your browser options) or, click on 'start", 'run', type 'temp' then click ok. Whatever shows up, just delete.\n6. Delete all history files. (you can do it from your browser options, or, CTRL + H, then delete)\n7. Empty recycle bin.\n8. Delete unused icons & short-cuts from anywhere including desktop.\n9. Uninstall any software or game that you use only once or twice in a week.\n10. Delete temporary internet files. (you can do it from your browser options: tools>internet options)\n11. Delete all recent files. (click on start, click run, then type "recent", delete all the files which show up)\n12. Run a full virus scan. If any threat found, eliminate that completely.\n13. Run a software which can remove any spyware or adware.\nLike: Ad Aware, Windows defender etc.\nhttp://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE-Personal-Edition/3000-8022_4-10399602.html?tag=lst-0-1\nhttp://www.download.com/Microsoft-Windows-Defender/3000-12771_4-10598014.html?tag=lst-0-1\n\nIf you did these all at the same time, restart your computer. All these to be done once in a week if possible, depending on the frequency of use of your PC.\n\n* Updating: (Needed only when updates are available)\n14. Update your Windows by installing latest updates.\n15. Update your audio & video drivers.\n16. Update softwares, browsers, games that you use.\n\nSoftwares to make your PC run faster:\n\n1. CCleaner (http://www.download.com/CCleaner/3000-2144_4-10592746.html?tag=lst-0-1)\n2. Registry Cleaner (http://www.download.com/Registry-Cleaner/3000-2094_4-10503633.html)\n3.

1) Run a defrag utility at the end of every week.\n2) Regularly scan for and remove viruses/spyware/adware.\n3) Get unused icons off your desktop.\n4) Cut down on running processes. You can do this by telling some of the programs you see near the time in your start up menu NOT to start on startup if you are not immediately going to use them. Also research the functionality of the services under Control Panel->Administrative tools and set their startup type to disabled if you will not be using them (right click the service you want to stop, then select properties). Don't stop these without doing your research because you DO need some of them.\n5. If you are still slow, add more RAM. \n\nFor faster internet, also clear your cache, cookies, and temp files (Tools->Internet Options in Windows, IE)

Defrag if it needs defragmenting then do a disk clean up every week or so. Won't really make your computer go super fast but as fast as it can go. Also get a good antivirus program such as Norton, McAfee or a free one is AVG. You could add more RAM and a better proccesor. If you dont want to spend that much money then go to some websites to try CPU overclocking. Although that may be for experienced computer users and may screw up your computer if done incorrectly. Also spyware slows down your computer. Download Spyware Doctor, Lavasoft, S&D. Another solution buy a faster computer. :)

check for spyware, get Windows Defender free from Microsoft, Also you might want to check your CPU fan for proper cooling, if it is if it isnt running at max speed your CPU will overheat causing it to run slow

My advice would be:\n1.Perform disk cleanup\n2.Defragment hard disk drive\n3.Perform the chkdsk from stage 1 to 5\n4.Do a virus scan\n5.Check the virtual memory. Change to minimum 2095 and \nmaximum 4095 this will increase the speed of your computer.

Press f8 for XP.\n\nhttp://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleid=1643&page=2\n\nOr use msconfig at run.

Defrag your hard drive partitions (All of them)\n\nYou can do this by going in:\nStart > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragmenter.\n\n(This may take an awfully long time!)\n\nIt makes your PC run faster.
