How To Increase Computer Speed I

Section I - The Terminology

I understand that you all may not be completely computer savvy, so lets go over some common terms that I'll be using to describe the different parts of the PC. If you already know this stuff, feel free to skip ahead to Section II.

Hard Drive
- Your hard drive is where all of your programs and files are stored. Typically the size of your hard drive is measure in Megabytes or Gigabytes. The bigger the drive, the more programs and files you can keep on your PC.

System Registry - Your system registry is a database that stores settings for the software and sometimes hardware on your PC. If these registry entries go bad or become corrupt, you may experience crashes, and other nasty errors in Windows as well as slow system performance.
