Generally, computer users are aware of the fact that resources are being used by the system all the times; even when it is not performing any task. This leads to the worst system performance. However, if you are using Windows 7, then these resources can be minimized successfully.
For example, consider the following system specifications.
- Satellite Toshiba L505D-S5965 (Laptop).
- Windows 7 32 bit (x86)
- Dual-Core QL-65 2.10 GHz Athlon X2 AMD
- 3 GB with 2.75 of usable memory and SD card of 2 GB
By following the below mentioned tips, the resources for the above mentioned system with the physical memory of only 513 MB can be reduced from 31 to 27.
- Never keep discarded material and unused files in the system.
- For the installation of software other than Windows or Drivers, first turn off all the unnecessary functions and windows features. To do this navigate to Start Menu>Control Panel>Programs and Features>Turn Windows Features On and off. Click to turn off the Windows features.
- Some transparent features like the animations or fading of the items in the menu should also be turned off as they tend to utilize system resources. Other unnecessary features utilizing system resources can also be searched on internet. Tweaking the system resources may also prove helpful in minimizing the system resources.
