Right click
My Computer and select
Properties. Go to the
Advanced tab and click the
Performance button. Select "
Adjust for best performance" (rather than "
Let Windows choose...") and press
Apply and
OK below, although on your system, with that amount of memory, you're probably not really overworking anything by letting Windows choose. Everything I've worked with along those specifications runs fine letting Windows do all the work.
You can also get there by pressings Windows+Break(Pause) keys together , Advanced tab > Performance , Settings > Visual Effects. I have "Custom" checked & only 4 boxes ticked : "Show windows contents ......." & 3 "Use ......." boxes ticked , the last "Use ...." box isn't ticked but if ticked it uses Windows XP colors , without it being ticked it uses the old Classic colors.
Also if you have a large RAM memory (I have only 256MB & I use this) you can select the "Performance Options" , "Advanced" tab > "Memory Usage" & check "System Cache", this speeds up only the re-load of previously used Programs.
