Computers tend to slow down over time as more and more programs are installed. This may not be immediately evident to the naked eye, but as time goes by the signs and symptoms start to reveal themselves. What’s more, the larger the program is is the greater the effect it will have on the system. Modern software (especially games and other heavy graphics programs) can severely erode the performance of your computer. This is worsened if your processor is slower than recommended and you have insufficient memory. The way around it is quite easy though.
A rule of thumb is to install only the applications that you NEED. All too often many of us download a software to try it out and then forget to remove it after we are finished. This takes up space that will be needed by programs that we need to install. How many of us have games, demos, and trial programs on our computers that we no longer use? Uninstall them. Get rid of them. And believe me, you will be surprised at how much faster your operating system loads and how improved your computer’s performance will become. In addition, putting in more memory and a faster processor will help to improve performance even more!
