MAKE YOUR PC RUN FASTER

Just type in "Make Your PC run faster" on the Google Search and you will get tonnes of search results. In everyday aspect of life, ensuring a computer to run at optimum and efficiency will allow any task forces to be done smoothly and less anger.

WHAT MAKES IT SLOW?

01) As our computer runs, it tends to leave things in mess. We work with files and sometimes they leave a space in the computer hard disk that are not necessary.
02) The software and hardware that we used may outdated and can cause computer to lag as well. Therefore, we need to upgrade such program up to date.
03) What more, we love to do multitasking for our computer. Downloading stuffs, while Facebook-ing and GutterUncensored, and at the same time chatting in Innit. Well, everybody does that but it will slows thing down.
04) Other components such as RAM and Graphic Card also determine whether your PC will run faster or not.
