On Asian Reader's Digest, there are several tips
by Kathleen McLeary on "increasing the speed of
your PC":
1. Empty the trash.
Only when the trash is emptied, is the valuable
space freed up.
2. Fix fragmented files.
E-mail Microsoft for help finding the defragment
program and running it. Fragmented file may
produce error messages or crashes.
3. Restart your computer:
When you quit a program, large ones will
continue to siphon off memory. Re-boot eliminate
the problem.
4. Switch off start ups.
Instant Messaging and calendars will be started
at boot up. Call your tech support line for
help turning off these "extensions".
=======================================
My advice for Linux X86 users:
1. Buy knoppix CD.
2. Buy memory upgrade, at least 256 Megabytes.
3. Disconnect your Hard Disk (power+IDE cable)
4. Boot!
I see the first 2 advice is about HD. Why
don't they turn off hard disk and use RAMDISK+
floppy or ZIP or CD-RW?
Is there any similar advice for Classic Amiga
or AmigaOne?
