I have a good anti-virus and registry cleaner and i have no viruses. I have recently installed some more RAM but my computer is still a bit sluggish. It is a fairly new model and i was wondering if you have any tips to speed it up?

if you are using vista you can insert a USB drive and use readyboost
Hi,
Try defragging the hard drive for a start.
Then try start. msconfig, in there look for the startup tab.
You can disable and enable the start up programs to avoid loading those that you do not really need to give your pc more speed.
How much ram have you now got and what is the operating system and cpu?

what type of computer is it. if it is running xp then you should have 512 mb. Also, try clearing cache, history, cookies, etc. Hope this helps.
Below can help you speed up your pc:
1. Click Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools – run Disk Cleanup
2. Temporarily close Quick Launch:
Right-click on the Taskbar, click Toolbars, deselect Quick Launch
3. Open My Computer
Right-click on C:
Click Properties
Click Tools, select Error Check (check all and fix), when finished click defrag & run.
4. Click Start, Run ipconfig -renew (type ipconfig space renew)
5. Restart. Right-click on Taskbar, click Toolbars, select Quick Launch to restore
All these things should be done regularly. The more frequently they are run, the less time they take.
-Note: Games and videos are mostly graphics. Graphics create large files. If these suggestions don’t help, you might need more memory.
Last, if you haven’t cleaned your registry in a while. This is necessary. Your registry holds all the information regarding updates, installs, un-installs etc. Each one of those events produces a key. That key needs your PC’s resources and free space. So, if you clean your registry, you make more resources available for speed. Does a registry scan if you got more than 20 errors you should clean it.
