How to optimize system to make a perfect computer?
People often complain: why is my system getting slower and slower? Daily operations, such as installing new software, loading the runtime, adding new games and so on, make the operating system becomes more substantial.

Part 1: Optimize system by optimizing registry
1. Clean up registry to speed up computer.
2. Decrease auto-runs to boost stat-up.

Part 2: Optimize system by optimizing disks
3. Rational used of hard disk to fully utilize disk and avoid losing files.
4. Defrag disks to improve disk speed.
5. Remove junk files to free up disk space.
6. Put shortcuts properly to boost desktop loading.

Part 3: Optimize system by other tips
7. Set virtual memory reasonably to fully utilize physical memory.
8. Forbidden hibernation function to save disk space.
9. Make a simple desktop to save system source.

Part 3: Optimize system by other tips

Set virtual memory reasonably
Windows XP always set a big virtual memory for security default, which wastes much hard disk space.
Enter Control Panel/System/ Advanced/ Property/ Setting/ Advanced/ Virtual memory/ Change; you can see the virtual memory setting window. Firstly, make sure which drive letter your page files are on, and then forbid all page files on other drive letter. The suggestion to set page files on other disks but not C disk (system disk) is in order to increase the speed of hard disk and therefore be good for speeding up system. According to Microsoft’s proposal, page files should be 1.5 times bigger than RAM. If you have a large RAM, the space page files taking up is significant. So, I suggest that if your RAM is below 1GB, you can set virtual memory 1.5 times with the same maximum and minimum; if RAM is from 1GB to 2GB, set it 1 time; if RAM is above 2GB, just setting it half of RAM is completely workable.

Forbidden hibernation function
Windows XP hibernation will completely save the current system state in memory to hard drive, so when you boot computer next time, system will go directly to your last sleep state without loading, system initialization and other courses, and therefore start-up becomes very quickly. However, hibernation takes up large hard disk space (nearly the same as your memory size).To optimize system, go to “Control Panel / Power Options / Hibernate”, and close it to free up disk space. The method is to click the “Start / Control Panel / Power Management / Hibernate”, remove the hook before “Enable Hibernation”.

Make a simple desktop
In addition, to optimize system, do not make the desktop background too complex (recommended set it to “None”).

All above are useful methods to optimize our system. However, I still have a suggestion, that is, people who are good at computers can adjust system by using above ways; people who are not familiar with computer system especially registry had better use a professional system optimizer or registry cleaner. In short, owning a fast computer and a healthy system are what we pursue.

Importance of registry

Registry loads at boot time, so applications use the registry entries more quickly than use external configuration files at startup. Microsoft designed the Registry to give applications a unified place to store configuration information. However, if registry is too big, it will consume a lot of system resources. Why there are so many Registry Optimizers or cleaners exist? This is because too much garbage in the registry: application software produces garbage, Windows itself creates the registry trash ,too, e.g. Office, NET Framework, are software writing a huge number of registered information. Registry of Windows Vista has been estimated that at least twice that of Windows XP.

Firstly, you can clean up registry by yourself. Click “Run”, and type “regedit” into the text field and press “Enter”. It is separated into primary sections: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, HKEY_CURRENT_USER, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, HKEY_USERS and HKEY_CURRENT CONFIG. Click the plus to find and delete unnecessary entries in the registry.

The wrong deleting or modification in registry will lead a computer crack. Personally, I prefer the second way, i.e. download or buy a stable and safe registry optimizer and scan registry. If you know little about registry, it is highly recommended to use registry optimizer. One of my friends gets a bloated registry; she thinks that it is really useful and safe to use Wonder share Registry Optimizer to clean up registry, fix registry errors and then speed up computer.

Decrease auto-runs when boot computers

Lots applications will be added to the system startup group by themselves during the installation. And they will run automatically each time you start the system, which not only extends the start-up time, but also takes up a lot of system resources.

Load your Windows Registry, you can click Start, Run and then input regedit. Now you have launched your registry, you can do some modification with your registry. For example, if you want to disable the startup Print program, in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Run, find the right key and disable it.

Apple IPhone 3G

Despite of that, however, owners are not often rewarded; Apple products: the Macbooks, the iPods and the iPhones are only rarely thoroughly updated, but at the same time, it shows general character of the brand.

The iPhone 3Gs is the newest third generation of Apple iPhones coming after the iPhone 2G and iPhone 3G. The iPhone 3G is very similar to the Apple iPhone 3Gs. Apple iPhone 3Gs has the same looks with The iPhone 3G, there is no way to separate them from each other. The only difference is the software enhancements, the digital compass, the higher resolution digital camera and the video function. Even though the upgrades are for iPhone 3Gs, still iPhone 3G users are pleased with these software upgrades because they can use a firmware update via iTunes to download some new features like copy / paste, the new search function and many other useful features.

There was a navigation kit and an external GPS unit developed by Navicore.

The standby time of the iPhone 3Gs is very dependable, but battery life varies too much on how frequent the phone and features are used. The built-in battery of iPhone 3Gs can’t be changed by the owner.

The upgraded 3.2 megapixels digital camera of the iPhone 3Gs serves better than iPhone 3G’s digital camera, in many different ways. The application can be selected through the menu, the application itself is very fast.

Autofocus feature of the camera immediately works without waiting for the shutter button to be used, this system fastens the camera’s speed a lot. This means that the camera is always focused, this way it enables to take photos continuously in a fast way; normally focus is centre located but focus point can be altered by the user.

Surfing through the web with advanced Safari web browser is very easy. For e-ailing, the iPhone 3Gs is very easy to use. The improved software that comes with iPhone 3Gs enables you to type in landscape mode and the new copy / paste feature is very useful.

To think that Apple is also producer of iPods, expectations for iPhone 3Gs as a music player are high.
