Do It Yourself: Adding RAM to your PC

To find out what kind of module you will need, you can also open up your computer. First, turn off the computer, but leave it plugged in, because then it's automatically grounded, . (Computers that should not remain plugged in will be clearly marked.) Place the computer on a clean workspace and remove the cover carefully (you may need to use a screwdriver). Touch the case to ground yourself. Some manuals recommend anti-static wrist straps. Locate the RAM modules, which are green with black tubes, on the motherboard. Now determine the type of module you have. RDRAM is paired up (you have to put in two at a time) and has metal casing on one side; DDR SDRAM is the most popular and looks like regular RAM, but has one notch; SDRAM (which is being phased out) has two notches. Note your RAM speed, which is usually written on the side of the existing chip (either 266 or 333). If you don't have a free slot, remove one of the memory cards to check the ...

Do it Yourself: Tweaks for Faster PC Performance

Are you annoyed with your PC's Performance? Don't fret Honey.. With just simple steps you can make your pc faster!!! Just do the following: Clean out the Registry. The larger your Windows Registry, the longer the OS will take to boot. Use Registry Cleaner. Use fewer fonts. Loading hundreds of system fonts takes time. If you have more than 500 fonts on your PC Add RAM (SDRAM,DDRAM, DDR2, DDR3). Faster hardware means faster boots (and shutdowns, and everything in between). There's no cheaper, more effective way to improve your hardware's performance than by adding RAM.

Do It Yourself: Tips for Faster PC Boot Up

Your Computer loads a lot of programs every time it starts up. Each of the icons in your system tray represents an auto-start application. And there are probably other programs on your machine that start automatically but don't make their presence known so easily. Each autoloading app slows your boot time--a little or a lot. And because most of them continue to run in the background, they rob you of a little performance. Before you start eliminating autoloaders, though, make sure you can undo your changes. In Windows XP, Select Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, and System Restore. Select Create a restore point, click next, call your restore point something like before removing autoloaders, and choose Create. Click Close once you've created the restore point. In Windows Vista, select Start, Control Panel, System. Under 'Tasks' on the right side of the window, click System Protection. In the System Properties box that comes up, click Create at the bottom of...

I know, because I am one of those Filipino-Australian /American offspring, part of an entire generation of young Filipino adults who have lived and been raised "abroad," a generation who, despite being born into the Great American Dream of their progenitors, cannot...
