Tweaking your PC
Important tweaks:
• Boosting the speed of the system
1) Number of tweaks for the purpose
2) Many parts need to be tackled to get into the tweak
3) The CMOS or the start –up is the most important of this options
Tweaking the CMOS
This is one of the most sensitive parts of your computer. By changing setting here, you can gain very significant speed increases.
Step 1: Disable Bootup Floppy seek
Step 2: Enable CPU Internal cache
Step 3: Enable Video BIOS Shadow
Step 4: Enable System BIOS Cacheable
Step 5: Enable video BIOS cacheable
Step 6: Enable passive release
Step 7: Enable delayed transaction
Increasing the sped of the hard disk, CD/ DVD drives:
About drivers
1. They are software and let the card work with the rest of the system.
2. Ensure that they have the newest version
3. Especially for the sound card and the GFx card, they ensure maximum performance and speed
Upgrading the PC
Upgrading the Processor
In case of a Coppermine processor
• These are socket 370 based Intel processors.
• If your older board has such a socket you can easily upgrade
• If it does not support he Coppermine processor, you’ll have to upgrade th motherboard itself to a higher level
Upgrading the RAM
• This is essential even if the processor has been upgraded
• This is especially true of programs that require and use a lot or RAM
Upgrading the hard disk
• It improves the sped and performance of the system
• The hard disk essentially stores files
• Too much operation does not lend it to high quality performance
• Logically a larger hard disc takes care of these modifications
• Besides newer hard disks are faster by definition
Maintaining your PC for optimal performance
Does your computer shut down on it’s own?
• Check for loose power cables in sockets.
• The powers inside the system might be loose
The importance of earthing:
• Grounding one’s PC is very significant in fact it has to be done before anything else is done
• Ensure that the power cable has a ground wire
• This ensures the stray voltage charges do not leak in to the system
• One indication of this situation is if one experiences a slight shock if they touch the system
Keeping the system clean: Inside out
• Servicing the computer is a necessity
• Certain parts require special attention
• The cooling fans on the system and iun the CPU are 2 such things
• If they stop is could be bad for the system
• The average frequency with which this should be done is between 3 – 6 months
