Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

If you also feel very poor speed of the system due to very low RAM and you also don’t wish to replace/add any more RAM then try doing following and you will certainly see the difference in CPU response time:

Clean up the hard drives, specifically the one where the operating system has been installed.
Increase the Page size of the Virtual Memory. A paging file is an area on the hard disk that windows uses as if it were RAM. Try doing following:
- Click Start and right click on My Computer to display System Properties.
- In the Advanced tab under Performance frame, select settings to display Performance Options.
- Now select the Advanced tab and click on Change under Virtual Memory frame.
- In the Virtual Memory window, select the drive where your windows is being installed.
- Select Custom size option and give in your inputs to make a part of your hard disk act as RAM.
- Update with click on button Set.
- Click on Apply and close it.
- Yo might need to restart the system before these changes come in effect.

That’s all what you need to do.

Hope it helps!!
