What Makes A Computer Faster?

Answer 1

There's a combination of things that make a system faster...

For people who want to upgrade because of slow performance, I would suggest:

1. Defragging the drive
2. Removing applications that are running but aren't used,
3. Cleaning out your startup and system processes with a tool like HijackThis

Next... if it's system performance, you will get a better system boost by adding more memory or FASTER memory, rather than upgrading the processor (unless it's a REALLY old processor)

Lastly, upgrading the processor always works... but may not address the initial problems in the system. And it's the most costly of the options.

Hope that answers your question.
