Make Your PC 20-100% Faster During January’s “National Clean Up Your Computer Month”

To a lot of people, their computer is their lifeblood – they pay their bills with it, perform their job with it, do their shopping with it, and so on.  At this time of year most people are also being bombarded with computer offers, discounts and rebates which can make a newer, faster system seem very attractive.  For this reason, SpecterWeb.com, L.L.C. is proud to announce their sponsorship of January’s “National Clean Up Your Computer Month”.  “Most PC's using Windows 95 or 98 can be made substantially faster, 20-100% actually, in about 20 minutes (or more, depending on the user) with a few simple tweaks and tricks”, according to S. Denise Hall, CEO of SpecterWeb.com.  In fact, the fastest, most cost effective computers are balanced systems which have been tweaked for optimal performance.  A few simple steps, that can be performed easily by any intermediate user, can dramatically increase your PC's performance, make it run faster, and increase modem download speeds.

Even beginners can make great strides in “cleaning up” their computers using simple Windows system tools such as disk cleanup, which frees up space on your hard drive, and disk defragmenter, which reorganizes your files so they open faster.  Every user should defragment on a regular basis, weekly is best but monthly is okay, to keep their hard drive(s) properly optimized.

PC users can often remedy any bad behavior they’re experiencing from their computer, by periodically downloading and installing updated drivers for their hardware and software.  These drivers are available for free at the manufacturer’s websites.  Newer drivers nearly always have improved performance, greater compatibility, more functionality, and most importantly, bug fixes.  Keep in mind that Windows driver updates are especially important, if not essential.
