This post discusses how to speed up the performance of a computer / laptop. Having a slow computer is certainly very test our patience.
No wonder if some people are very annoyed when the task sokolah / office with computers so slow. Many of those who prefer to do the work in the cafe rather than use super slow computer performance.
Actually, to overcome the computer / laptop which tends increasingly slow, you only need to perform routine maintenance and also did some things that I will explain one by one in this article.
Okey straight out, to overcome the performance of your computer / laptop is becoming increasingly slow course, do a few things below to help speed up the performance of your computer / laptop.
1. Please RAM and hard drive capacity
Too heavy multitasking process which led to the performance of a computer / laptop to be slow. Adding RAM capacity becomes larger again are the best choices to expedite the performance of a computer. Note also the capacity of your hard drive. If it is almost full (eg remaining 10GB), do not be surprised if your computer / laptop slowed only. I suggest you enlarge the capacity of the hard drive and if it has
surplus funds, it would not hurt to buy SSD to improve the performance
of your computer / laptop.
2. Delete temporary files (bins) in the Recycle Bin
Temporary file (trash) can slow the performance of a computer / laptop, so it would be nice if you delete it. First check the file, if it is really not necessary, please delete by
right-clicking the Recycle Bin icon and select Empty Recycle Bin.
Alternative software that you can use is CCleaner, the software can also delete temporary files contained on the browser.
3. Uninstall unnecessary programs
For what install programs that are not used. Unfortunately, if installed a program that simply throwing away your hard disk space.
To uninstall a program, you can do so via Start> Control Panel> Uninstall a program and then uninstall unused programs / important.
4. Minimize programs that run on Startup
The more programs that run on startup to be one factor that causes a computer's performance decreases. I suggest you to disable any programs that really are not important and do not need to run at startup by pressing the Win key + R> type msconfig> select the Startup tab and then uncheck the programs you want to disable.
To make it easier, you can also use CCleaner to disable programs that run at startup.
5. Do not forget to install Antivirus
Make sure you have installed antivirus. As we know that the average viruses including malware and spyware cause the performance of a slow computer and can also damage the data / file us. In addition, you should install antivirus right, not an antivirus that actually slow the performance of your computer / laptop.
6. Custom Virtual Memory
Although the role is not as big as RAM, virtual memory can help improve your computer's performance. To regulate how much virtual memory you use, go to Control Panel> System and Security> System or can by pressing the Windows key + Pause / Break. Then select Advanced system settings.
Move to the Advanced tab, then select Settings from the menu Performance.
Move again to the Advanced tab, then select Change in the Virtual memory menu.
Uncheck Automatically manage paging file size for all drives. Then select Custom size and determine how much virtual memory that is desired. For maximum size you can fill in the Initial size 2X. Then select Set, then select OK.
Note: For maximum size should not be 2X initial size, it only estimates.
7. Minimize the use of visual effects
The more visual effects are used, the better to see your desktop. And the need to underline, the slower the performance of your computer when there are a lot of visual effects running.
For that you should minimize the use of visual effects on your desktop in the following ways:
Go to Control Panel> System and Security> System, and then select Advanced system settings that are in the top left corner of the System window.
advanced system settings
Move to the Advanced tab, then select Settings from the menu Performance.
On the Visual Effects tab, and uncheck please select custom visual effects that are not needed. You can see the settings that I use visual effects shown in the figure below. If there are visual effects that usually appears, but does not appear, please return to the default.
Note:
- Select Let Windows choose what's best for my computer, if you want
the windows alone will determine what visual effects are the best for
your computer.
- Select Adjust for best appearance, if you want your desktop to look the most good. But the impact is going to make angry, the computer becomes more slow.
- Select Adjust for best performance, if you want your computer in a good performance. But get ready for it, your eyes to be 'tortured', because your desktop zoom going bad really. But this option is well suited for gaming.
8. Use Disk Cleanup
This tool is useful for removing temporary files on each drive. So you can choose whichever drive you want to clean from temporary files. To use this tool, please right-click the drive you want to clean> select Properties and then select Disk Cleanup.
9. Use the Disk Defragmenter
Fragmentation on the data to make your drive to work harder, of course it makes the computer's performance goes down. Therefore, you are advised to use Disk Defragmenter to rearrange the fragmented data. You can use this tool by right-clicking the drive you want defrag> select Properties> then select Defragment now on the
Tools tab.
10. Remove non-essential gadget on the desktop
Gadgets installed on the desktop becomes one of the things that affect the performance of a computer. I suggest you remove bernar gadget that really are not important, but if your computer has a high specification may install gadgets like this do not feel the effect on computer performance.
Conclusion
There are still some things that affect the performance of a computer / laptop. But i think 8 things I have described above is more than enough.
Maybe that's all I want to share today. Hopefully this short article useful for you. Thanks for reading
Today, many people who use a laptop for gaming. Various types of gaming laptops often encountered in some computer stores.Gaming laptop usually have a high price with specifications that could be considered is suitable for playing games. Through the following article, I will share tips on how to choose the right gaming laptop.Many people who claim to gaming business, it is better to use a PC rather than a laptop. I think this assumption is not wrong, considering the PC itself has
many advantages in the gaming business than a laptop, One of the
advantages of the PC is its simplicity in terms of computer hardware
upgrades.Not inferior to the PC, the laptop also has a plus in itself in the affairs of gaming. One is simple, efficient, and easy to carry anywhere. So you can play anywhere, whether it's in school, college, or cafe. I myself usually playing the game together with friends of my school during recess.
Having a gaming laptop does not have a heavy price. If
you know what things are important to consider when trying to buy a
gaming laptop, it is possible you can get a gaming laptop at a cheap
price. Well, the following things need to be considered.How to Choose a Gaming Laptop?
1. Note the VGA chipset series and not much memory VGA
Mistakes
are often made when people want to buy a gaming laptop that is more
concerned with a large memory on VGA or VRAM than on the VGA chipset
series. In fact to note is that the chipset series, not great memory. Different in terms of graphic design, VRAM is important but in gaming is not really needed.In order to more easily choose VGA fit for gaming, note series chipset. Suppose NVIDIA GeForce GT 720M, how to read as follows:
- The first digit indicates generation, meaning the seventh generation VGA
- The second and third digits indicate grade level or performance, the higher the number the better performance of a VGA.
- The
main thing that the second and third digits, eg Nvidia GeForce GT 720M
performance is below the Nvidia GeForce GT 635M but the GT 635M more
sophisticated technology for newer generation. VGA chipset series that I made above is a mobile version of the VGA chipset series, instead of the desktop version.
2. Do not ignore the role of processor
Many people are a higher priority than the VGA Processor when trying to buy a gaming laptop. They tend to choose VGA very good performance but not balanced with a good processor anyway. It
is not wrong, but it should be noted that the processor's role can not
be underestimated again, because the more games that do a variety of
complex calculations on the processor.
In addition, the number of core / core which is owned by the processor can lighten the rendering process performed by VGA. I recommend choosing a laptop with a non-ULV processor, because the processor ULV series is not good for gaming.
3. Large RAM owned Laptop
The greater capacity of RAM which is owned laptop will run smoothly also the process of multitasking. Do not be too preoccupied with a clock speed of RAM for the average game today prefers clock speed RAM capacity than RAM.
4. Note the hard disk capacity
Make sure the hard disk capacity of at least 500GB. If you have more funds, there is no harm upgradenya becomes greater.It should be noted also, upgrade the hard disk is not only to increase
storage capacity, but also increases the performance of the laptop.
5. Choose a laptop that can be upgraded components
Although not all of the components in the laptop can be upgraded. Try to choose a laptop that supports upgrading components such as RAM and hard disk.By upgrading the components, can improve performance on a laptop. The components are mainly in the upgrade is the RAM and the second is the hard disk.
6. Pay attention to the size of a laptop screen
The screen size is an indicator of comfort in playing the game. Choose a screen size appropriate, I think a laptop with a screen size of 14 "is more than enough.If you want a more exciting gaming experience again, there is no harm if you choose a laptop with a screen size of 15 "- 17".
7. Choose a laptop that has a variety of ports
Choose a laptop that offers diverse connectivity. Make sure the laptop has a minimum of the following ports:
USB 2.0 port
USB 3.0 port
HDMI port
D-Sub portUSB
2.0 port and a USB 3.0 port is of course very important to install
peripherals that support gaming comfort such as a mouse, keyboard, or
joystick. Less appealing taste if using the internal keyboard (default laptop) and the touchpad when playing games. If you intend to play the game and want to connect to LCD TVs or
monitors larger screen size, select a laptop that also provides a HDMI
port and a D-Sub port.
8. Notice old laptop warranty
Each laptop vendors vary in warrants to its customers. The average length of the warranty on a laptop is 1 year, the longer the better.Warranty claim needs to be done at any time if there is damage to the laptop hardware. There is no harm if the warranty consideration in choosing a gaming laptop.
Conclusion
Currently many outstanding laptop with varying prices and specifications vary as well. Therefore you should be more wise again when trying to buy a gaming laptop.
Note 8 things I've mentioned above, should not be consumed persuasions rogue sellers.Maybe that's all I want to say today, I hope this short article useful for you.
This time I will explain how to view the IP address on the computer with ease. When computers are connected to a network, that's when our computer has an IP address.
The IP address itself is a series of numbers / number used to identify computers, servers, other devices in an internal network or the Internet network based on TCP / IP.
There are so many methods of how to see the IP address on the computer, but I only used two common methods only, which is to see the IP address via the command prompt and see the IP address via Network Connections.
Method 1: View the IP address via the command prompt
1. Go to the command prompt in the Start Menu or by pressing Win + R, then type cmd and press Enter.
2. At the command prompt window, type ipconfig command to display information about the list of connections found on your computer, and then press Enter.
3. The command prompt will display the list of connections found on your computer along with its IP address.
Method 2: View the IP address via Network Connections
1. Go to Network Connections in the Start Menu or by pressing Win + R, then type ncpa.cpl and then press Enter.
2. Select the connection profile is active or you are using, and then right-click and then select Status.
3. To view the IP address along with other information such as subnet mask, default gateway, DNS and others. Please click Details.
Note: When you want to see the IP address on a computer. Make sure you are connected to the network.
Well, so much for the article tutorial today. I hope what I say in this short article easy to understand and certainly useful.

Basic Input / Output System, or often called the BIOS is a program written in assembly language in charge of organizing the functions of the hardware / hardware contained on the computer.
Unlike the operating systems that are on the hard drive, usually located in the BIOS chip flash memory or ROM which is made of Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor, or commonly referred to as CMOS.
Usually people call the battery attached to the motherboard as the CMOS battery. The battery is what serves to maintain the date and other settings that has been set by the user that is not lost even when your computer is turned off.
BIOS has some important tasks such as loading the operating system or commonly referred to as the boot. BIOS is also tasked with providing instruction on a microprocessor to turn on the computer.One of the instructions ordered by the BIOS on the microprocessor is
the Power On Self Test (POST), which serves to test the operating status
of all hardware on the computer.
Other instructions given to the microprocessor is activate the BIOS
chip contained in some other components of the computer such as SCSI and
graphics cards, check and manage computer peripherals through low-level
routines during the startup process takes place.
In addition, other things are done by the microprocessor clock management, hard disk and other settings. The function of the BIOS on the Computer One
of the main tasks undertaken by the BIOS are set early stages of the
startup process and ensuring that operating systems have actually been
loaded into memory.
Additionally, BIOS functions do the following:1. Run Command Power On Self Test (POST)
One must do before installing the operating system on a computer is to check a number of existing devices on the computer.
In addition, the BIOS can also provide information on the specifications of the hardware found on the motherboard.2. Set Basic Configuration on a Computer
Generally, the BIOS to set the configuration to other devices based on their respective functions.
These configuration settings are usually exploited by some people,
especially gamers to improve the performance / performance of a computer
or often referred to as overclocking.3. Provide Basic Information on Computer
In addition to running the POST command and set the basic
configuration of the computer, the BIOS is also in charge of providing
basic information on how the interaction of each essential devices found
on the computer as drives and memory which will be in charge of loading
the operating system.
Components in the BIOSSo that the BIOS can carry out their duties properly. So we need some supporting components include:
1. The BIOS Setup program
This program serves to change the configuration of the computer such
as the type of hard disk, disk drives, power management, performance,
and others as the user desires.
Generally BIOS hides the details of the device that can be fairly
complicated, so it needs some skill if we want to know more about the
details of these devices.2. Driver
The function of this driver is intended for computer hardware devices
such as VGA, input devices, processor and some other device to the base
operating system 16 bit which is a family of DOS.3. Program Top Bootstraper
The program is instrumental in the process of booting into the operating system that we have installed previously.
How to Work BIOS?
Initially BIOS initialization process where in the process the user
can see the specifications of the computer such as the amount of memory,
the type and capacity of the hard drive, VGA card information and
others. In addition, also to check the BIOS ROM devices, such as hard disk and do the testing of the RAM.After
all the testing and checking of the device is completed, the next step
should do is find a location BIOS booting to enter the operating system
that has been installed.
Miscellaneous The BIOS
