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.
