How to speed up a slow computer ?

Here’s an advanced tweak that you can implement in order to speed up a slow computer. It assumes the computer has 512 MB of Read Only memory (RAM). The idea is to prevent Windows from paging processes to the disk, and use the RAM instead. This way, we actually leverage the RAM in order to run some of the operating system components and eventually considerably speed up Windows.

The implementation of this tweak requires a modification in your operating system registry.

Remember! If you use the registry editor incorrectly, you might cause serious problems that might require you to reinstall your operating system. Use the registry editor at your own risk.
