Increase your RAM and so system speed
1). Start any application, say
Word. Open some large
documents.
2). Press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC to open
Windows Task Manager and click
Processes tab and sort the list in
descending order on Mem Usage. You will
notice that WINWORD.EXE will be
somewhere at the top, using multiple MBs
of memory.
3). Now switch to Word and simply
minimize it. (Don ’t use the Minimize All
Windows option of the task bar).
4). Now go back to the Windows Task
Manager and see where WINWORD.EXE is
listed. Most probably you will not find it at
the top. You will typically have to scroll to
the bottom of the list to find Word. Now
check out the amount of RAM it is using.
Surprised? The memory utilization has
reduced by a huge amount.
5). Minimize each application that you are
currently not working on by clicking on
the Minimize button & you can increase
the amount of available RAM by a
substantial margin. Depending upon the
number and type of applications you use
together, the difference can be as much
as 50 percent of extra RAM.
In any multitasking system, minimizing
an application means that it won ’t be
utilized by the user right now. Therefore,
the OS automatically makes the
application use virtual memory & keeps
bare minimum amounts of the code in
physical RAM.
