I use Cleanup programs like: ccleaner, tuneup utilities... to keep my computer as fast as possible, i recommend buying some software for this, as not all free programs can keep your computer healthy. |
|
The secret to a fast computer is money. On a serious note, the secret is keep it free of malware/spyware, only keep programs you need installed, and disable services that are not being used. |
|
keep malware off, this includes spyware, toolbars. every slow running computer i helped my friends out with this was why. only install programs you need and uninstall what you dont. |

Good processor, good ram, good quality, good hard drive and all around good!! |

Don't use applications like CCleaner, because if you try to "clean" your registry, you will leave gaps in it. I recommend staying away from everything that messes with your registry, because it will only make it slower. Sometimes your computer may not be that slow at all. If you are still using Internet Explorer, than you are missing out on a lot. |

A fast computer = A computer with a good prosessor, good amount of ram and good maintanance. |

Clean your hard drive. Backup your old files onto a CD or something. Make sure you empty your recycle bin, cache, cookies, and history. You could use the built-in Windows Disk Cleanup. If you want to clean more, you could use CCleaner. Also defragment your hard drive, and do a CHKDSK every once in a while. Stay away from registry cleaners, unless you really know what you are doing. Registry defragmenters could be good. I recommend you have at least 1GB of ram, and clean the inside of your computer out every year. |
I believe there is no answer to this question, because the speed of a computer isn't well defined until you start mentioning components (not to mention tasks).
