Speeding Up My PC Performance Wondering I This will Help?

Question

My PC takes a little while to bootup and I was wondering if I should do one of the following things:

1. Remove all unecessary programs from My C Drive allowing only the (original Windows Vista Components on this drive) And Moving things like my Pictures, Games, Video and Music to my Free E drive which has 297 GB of space available.

Or

2. Backing up all of My Games, Pictures, Movies, Music, and Personal Documents to a HP Personal Media Drive. Which Will Give me back about 600GB of space on Free space!!!!

Which do you thing is the better Idea? Please Help!!!

Answer 1

moving pictures wont boost your pc performance, reoving unused programs might if the run a as a service.

if yoyr pc is slow while it wasnt initially you can try to defragment your disk.

for speed the internal amount of memory is important 1 gByte is normal~good, not the size of your harddisk.

Answer 2

no 1 will do

Answer 3

Boot up depends on alot of things:

1. Processor speed-higher number is better
2. Memory installed-more is better
3. How many programs you have running at start up-less is better
4. If your computer has been defragged lately.

Check your start up in "all programs" and make sure it is empty. If not delete anything in there.

You could use msconfig to stop some programs from starting but I doubt that is necessary.

Make sure you don't have a million icons in the tray. If so you can check their settings and see if they are set up to start as boot up. If so, change it.

Answer 4

Neither of these will help. Unless your c: drive is nearly full removing content does not increase speed. Also moving programs makes them stop working. Stopping startup programs from starting will help.

Answer 5

if your OS is Vista, that's your problem. Use XP Pro. XP is 200% better than Vista.

Answer 6

the one that gives you more space

Answer 7

The 2nd thing that you mentioned.
