Increase your RAM and so system
speed
1). Start any
application, say Word.
Open some large documents.
2). Press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC to open Windows Task Manager
and click Processes
tab and sort the list in descending order on Mem Usage. You will notice that WINWORD.EXE will be
somewhere at the top, using multiple MBs of memory.
3). Now switch to Word and simply minimize it. (Don't
use the Minimize All Windows
option of the task bar).
4). Now go back to
the Windows Task Manager and see where WINWORD.EXE is listed. Most
probably you will not find it at the top. You will typically have to scroll to
the bottom of the list to find Word.
Now check out the amount of RAM it is using. Surprised? The memory utilization has reduced by a huge
amount.
5). Minimize each
application that you are currently not working on by clicking on the Minimize
button & you can increase the amount of available RAM by a substantial
margin. Depending upon the number and type of applications you use together,
the difference can be as much as 50 percent of extra RAM.
