Windows XP system saves memory resources

Although we have already carried out the era of large memory, many people have upgraded their own memory to more than 1G. However, the functions of many softwares can't be underestimated now. With the enhancement of functions, the occupancy rate of system resources is getting higher and higher. The change is fast and we are overwhelmed. What should I do at this time? I think the most effective way is to save memory by itself. Let's talk about how to save memory better in the operating system, so that every resource can be used reasonably.

Let's take a look at it together, we can all use these settings to save memory.

Optimizing Memory Data

In Windows, the more data that resides in memory, the more memory resources are used. Therefore, the shortcut icons on the desktop and in the taskbar should not be set too much. If memory resources are tight, consider using as few background residing programs as possible. Do not open too many files or windows while you are operating your computer. After using the computer for a long time, if the computer is not restarted, the data arrangement in the memory may be confusing, resulting in a decline in system performance. Then you have to consider restarting your computer.

Enable Disk Write Cache

Right click on “My Computer" Select “Properties->Hardware”, open Device Manager to find the currently in use Hard disk, click the mouse [/url] right click to select the property. In the <quo;Policy" page of the hard disk properties, open “Enable write caching on disk”.

This option will activate the hard disk's write cache, which will increase the read and write speed of the hard disk. However, be aware that after this feature is turned on, if the computer suddenly loses power, it may result in irreparable data loss. It is therefore best to turn this feature back on with a UPS. Of course, if you don't do any important data processing work when you use your computer normally, it doesn't matter if you don't have a UPS. This function will not cause too much damage to the system.

Turn off unwanted services

If you don't have a printer at home, you can turn off the “PrinterSpooler” service. If you do not have a regularly scheduled task, turn off the  quo;TaskScheduler” service. For most people, “RemoteRegistry” is also useless and can be turned off. Below is a list of all the optimized services above. I have optimized the places marked with red circles.

Open UltraMDA

In Device Management, select “Basic/Secondary IDE Controller” in IDEATA/ATAPI Controller, right click and select “Attributes” to open “Advanced Settings” page. The most important setting item here is “transfer mode”, generally should select “DMA (if available)”.

Monitoring Memory

No matter how big the system's memory is, it will always run out. Although there is virtual memory, since the read/write speed of the hard disk cannot be compared with the speed of the memory, when using the memory, it is necessary to monitor the memory usage at all times. A system monitor is provided in the Windows operating system to monitor memory usage. Generally, if only 60% of the memory resources are available, you should pay attention to adjusting the memory, otherwise it will seriously affect the running speed and system performance of the computer.
