Speed Up Your System By . . .
There are a few ways nak kasi PC laju.. I'd divide that into 5 main categories.. aku tulis cam nak buat assignments computer. So, here they are
Optimizing System Configurations
Speeding Up the Start
Menu
Salah satu cara ialah.. dengan download Microsoft Powertoy 'TweakUI'.
It contains an option to speed up the Start Menu. System nih will not
take effect until you restart Windows 95. Changes dalam setting nih bole
gak dibuat using the Registration Editor, 'RegEdit', tapi kira 'TweakUI'
is much simpler, and safer. Nanti aku letak name site nak download menatang
nih.
Typical Role of this machine - Network
Server
If you have 64Megs of RAM or more, tukar la role computer korans..
akunyer tak tuka pasal PC aku lembaps.. tapi yang PC power tuh tuka ler..
kalau nak eprformance power skitt.. tuka to Network Server. Pi kat Control
Panel, open up the System icon, go to the Performance tab, click katFile
System, letaknye under the Hard Disk tab, tukar ler "Typical role
of this machine" to Network Server.Mungkin laju dari biasa.. tak caye,
cuber try test.
Speeding Up the System Restart
Add 'BootDelay=0' to the [Options] section of C:\msdos.sys. You may
have to change the attributes on this file to be able to edit it. BUt before
that check dulu your msdos.sys dok kat folder maner... and the attributes
would have to be changed.. pasal baru leh edit.
Freeing Memory in DOS Windows
In the [386Enh] section of your 'System.ini' file, add 'LocalLoadHigh=1'
Removing DriveSpace
Sekiranya korans guner DoubleSpace or DriveSpace, boleh la delete 'drvspace.bin'
and 'dblspace.bin'from both the C:\ and C:\Windows directories. This will
free additional DOS memory and lajukan.. system startup..
Freeing Disk Space
Deleting Animated Help Files
If you know how to perform simple Windows procedures like scroll, minimize
windows, paste, etc., you can recover 7.1 Megs of disk space by deleting
the .AVI files from the c:/windows/help directory. Tapi kalau dah ade 4
giga.. aku rase takyah ler.. pasal nanti menyusahkan jer.. setakat 7.1
megs.. banyak maner sangat.. tapi kalau guner laptops.. this might be useful.
Deleting Extraneous
or Leftover Files
You can safely delete the following files in the root directory: *.txt,
*.prv, *.log, *.old, *.___, and *.dos (unless you use dual-boot). You can
delete these files from the Windows directory: *.log, *.old, *.___, *.bak,
and, *.000, *.001, etc. All these files takler penting sangat, tapi kalau
orang yang keje semua bende dok dalam PC.. jangan ler buang files tuh semua.
Software Drivers
Locating Software Drivers
Making sure you have good 32-Bit drivers for your peripherals will
boost Windows 95/98 performance. Nak website yang bagus pasal wealth of
driver information and links, go to Frank's
Windows 95 Software/Drivers Upgrades or the Drivers
HeadQuarters. Site nih due memang bhest.. check it urselves..Or
better yet, buy name-brand peripherals and check the manufacturers' homepage
regularly for the latest driver update. New driver can really make a difference!
Optimizing Your Disks and Configuration
Defragmenting Your Disks
Dulu aku tak sedar kepentingan nih.. until Jimmy kasi tau.. As files
are opened, modified, and re-written to your hard disk, they gradually
become fragmented. This means that your computer has to look into more
and more locations to find all the fragmented parts of the files. Nak kasi
speed up PC system, selalu selalu lah run 'Disk Defragmenter' regularly.
Defragmenter is included with Windows 95/98 and is located on the 'Start'
menu under 'System Tools'.
Virtual Memory
Even though Windows 95 advises you to let it manage your virtual memory
for best performance, this means that it will adjust it on the fly, kira
auto working up untuk kita, causing moments of wild disk activity while
you are virtually frozen. So, kalau die taknak windows manage virtual memory..
yang melambatkan skitt system nih, guner la tektik nih..kene set disk cache
To set the disk cache permanently and stop this activity, do the following:
1.First, defragment your hard disk using 'Disk Deframenter' -
2.Right-click on 'My Computer', and select 'Properties'
3.Select the 'Performance' tab, and click 'Virtual Memory'
4.Select the drive you want your swapfile to be located on
5.Specify the same size for both 'Minimum' and 'Maximum' size. You may want to try different sizes for your swapfile. If you have less than 16 Megs of RAM and/or work a lot with 24-bit images, a good starting place is 2.5 times your amount of RAM.
6.Click 'Okay' a couple of times, and
restart your computer.
Kalau tak jadik ... jangan marah aku.. info nih aku dapat dari internet gaks... tapi ade member aku dah try.. and PC die.. kira speed gak ler..
Virtual Cache
Setting these values will prevent VCache from filling up your RAM and
causing your applications to be paged out to disk.
1.Using Notepad, Wordpad or Super NoteTab, open 'System.ini'
2.Find the [vcache] section (or add it if it is not there), and add these two lines:
MinFileCache=0
MaxFileCache=4000
3.Restart Windows 95/98
Optimizing System Configurations
Memory - RAM
Kalau nak beli RAM murah pi la kat PCfare selalunyer
kat PWTC. Walaupun Microsoft buat pernyataan yang Windows 95 bole run dengan
hanya 4Meg of RAM minimunnyer la..but I
cannot imagine anyone wanting to do so. With Windows 95, like Windows 3.1x,
adding RAM will significantly boost performance. For the best price-to-performance
ratio, 32 (2x16) Megs are recommended. You will see an additional performance
increase with even more RAM, but, unless you are working with many complex
applications simultaneously, or editing 24-Bit color images, you get diminishing
return on your money above 32 Megs.So, kalau korans pikir nak add more
RAMs, make sure that you get the kind of RAMs that your motherboard can
accept. Micron Semiconductor
sells the best and fastest memory in the market. You want the best RAMs
because they help in overclocking your system and won't burn out in a couple
of months. Pasal motherboard nih bukan kepakaran aku.. tapi member aku
soran nih terror gak.. kira bole la.. and you guys can email him at bp_21@hotmail.com
if you have doubts about mother board.
Storage - HDD
The HDD is probably the slowest component in your computer that will
directly impact your system's performance. It is therefore a good idea
to get a really good (translation: FAST!) HDD if you want your system to
run at an optimal speed. kebanyakan EIDE hard drives, especially those
with Ultra DMA feature, are larger, faster, not to mention cheaper than
the SCSI drives. So, unless you want to link multiple SCSI devices together
such as a scanner and a drive, or link multiple drives in one workstation,
EIDE is definitely the way to go. A very good EIDE drive today would be
the IBM's Deskstar 5,
so far ler.. if ader yang lagi power.. tulun correct kan aku.. kalau tak
shilap IBM's deskstar 5 nih boleh dapat via Original Equipment Manufacturers
(OEMs) only. The undisputed speed champion in the SCSI category (and over
all the hard drives!) would be the 10,000-RPM Seagate's
Cheetah. Once again.. tulun correct kan aku if i were wrong.. thank
you.
Video Acceleration
A quality, name-brand video accelerator, using either the PCI or the
newer AGP bus, is recommended. Be sure to get one from a major manufacturer
-- although good deals are often available on no-name cards with a known
chipset, unless you get a major name brand, finding regular driver updates
will be difficult. Good drivers make a world of difference! (Trust me)
If you're shopping for a new video card at this moment, I would recommend
the new Matrox's Millennium
II, it is the fastest 2D video card in the market at the moment.
Couple this with a 3Dfx Chipset
dedicated 3D accelerator card such as Diamond's Monster
3D or Orchid's Righteous 3D,
and you have the best possible combo for the video component of your system.
Until the appearance of the next generation video cards that are better
and cheaper of course. :)
Processors
According to Microsoft, Windows 95 will run on any processor from a
386DX up. For comfortable performance, upgrade to at least a Pentium 75
or better yet, an IBM/Cyrix 6x86 or AMD K5 (you should be able to find
very good deals for these chips now that the newer M2 and K6 chips are
out.) If you have either a IBM/Cyrix or an AMD cpu, a huge heatsink is
a must. Also, remember to spread a thin layer of Thermal Compound
between the cpu and the heatsink to enhance heat transfer. To further enhance
the performance of your CPU, c

To learn more about the different CPUs, read the excellent reviews in Tom's
Hardware Guide. Processors nyer bahagian nih pun.. I'm not pro,
I'm not saying i'm pro in the others.. lain pun tak pro gaks.. but can
do la.. but further info about this.. U can email my elder brother at luper
seyy.. nanti aa aku tulis.
