How to make Windows 7 boot up and shut down faster

How to make Windows 7 boot up and shut down faster

Adding more RAM is a good way to speed things up. If youre using the 32bit version of Windows 7 itll accept only 3GB; the 64bit OS will run happily with 4GB or more.

Check your PC or motherboard manual for the correct type of RAM to use and instructions on how to replace or add to it.

A 1GB DDR2 800MHz module costs around �22, and a 2GB module around �32.

Since you have two drives, another option is to move the page file to the other drive. This will improve Windows performance, as your main drive will no longer need to simultaneously write to the page file and read and write to the Windows files at startup and shutdown.

Go to Start, right-click Computer and choose Properties, Advanced System Settings, Advanced, Performance, Settings, Advanced, Virtual Memory, Change. Deselect Automatically manage paging file size for all drives. Select your second drive (usually D) and click System managed size, Set. Next, select your main drive (usually C) and click No paging file, Set, Ok.

The same effect can be achieved on computers with a single hard drive by creating a separate partition.
