As we all know, the win2003 system is a very stable system, such a stable system can not drop the chain in the hard disk. The stability of the hard disk generally affects the stability of the system, so the hard disk is faster and the system is more stable. The links are here, one by one. First, the reasonable use of the hard disk What is the reasonable use of the hard disk? First we need to understand the physical structure of the hard disk. A partitioned and formatted hard disk is based on a sector, and a partition is composed of a number of sectors. So what is a sector? We all know that the disk is rotating at work. The information it stores is recorded on its surface in a series of concentric circles. Each concentric circle is called a track. In Figure 1, we can See the distribution of tracks and sectors (of course, this is just a schematic, the physical is much more dense than the picture!), many friends think that the red "big" is a sector, but the correct understanding should The small piece that is yellow is a sector. A sector has a size of 512 bytes, a whole ring is a track, and there are several sectors on a track, so it is easy to see that the larger the sector on the outer track, the larger the volume. The words are the lower the density, because the hard disk is mechanical transmission, so the speed of the search, read and write speed of the magnetic head is faster, the distribution of the partition is also from the outer ring to the inner ring, so the C disk is relative to the D disk. Outside, this is why we feel that the C drive is faster than the D, E and other partitions. Understand the above knowledge, we can use the hard disk reasonably! Take a new hard disk with a capacity of 60GB as an example: divide the C drive into 3 to 5GB (depending on the operating system), and adjust the D drive to 1GB. Set the E drive to 10GB, save it and watch it (you can split it into F and G drives) —— has no effect on system speed. How to use after the good zone is the most important: 1. Install the operating system on the C drive and install the common small software such as MwIE, Foxmail, ICQ, QQ, FlashGet, Super Rabbit, player software and some viewing software. On the C drive. If you use Microsoft's large software such as Office, you should also install it on the C drive. Of course, since we don't use all of the features, we have to customize the useful parts to save the C drive space! Then set the virtual memory to the D drive (just temporary ^_^) and then use the system itself. The disk defragmenter with the defragmentation of the C drive. 2, use the system modification software such as "micro-registration optimization master" & rdquo; "My Documents", "Internet buffer", "Internet history", "collections" and so on often Set the folder to be written and deleted to the D drive to avoid disk fragmentation caused by other partitions and reduce the performance of the hard disk! 3. Install various application software to the E drive. As for the game, it can be installed on the F drive. Store audio and video files. 4. Perform another defragmentation on the C drive, and then set the virtual memory to the C drive after the second big step. Second, the virtual memory setting to set the virtual memory to a fixed value is a common "truth" & rdquo; and, this is very correct, but most people set it to the non-system partition outside the C drive, and its value is mostly 2 to 3 times the physical memory. Most people think that the larger the value, the better the performance of the system and the faster it runs! But this is not the case, because the system relies on virtual memory —— if the virtual memory is large, the system will have a lot of free space in the physical memory. When I started using virtual memory, the stuff that I didn't use was still stuck in physical memory, which inevitably led to a drop in memory performance! So I started from 32MB of memory and started to 512MB of memory. I found the above. The facts mentioned are very correct. The virtual memory should be set to 0 to 1.5 times the physical memory (how much is 0? Is it disabled! ^_^), and the larger the physical memory, the smaller the multiple should be instead of The bigger. When the physical memory is equal to or greater than 512MB, most PCs can disable virtual memory. At this time, the memory performance is the highest! ^_^ As for how much your virtual memory should be set, you should try it yourself. Because this is directly related to the number and size of resident memory software and the software you run normally, I can't give suggested values. You can set it to be the same as the physical memory before running several large software. If there is no abnormality, you can set it to half of the physical memory before running the large software. If an exception occurs. You have to increase the value of virtual memory appropriately! And so on, when you find the best value, just set this value to the C drive and it will be OK! :) Note: If you are using Windows ME and below For the operating system, you can download “MagnaRAM 97” to optimize physical memory and virtual memory, which works better!
