1、如何讓你的電腦穩(wěn)定運(yùn)行Getting a new PC is one thing. Keeping it running smoothly is quite another. While a personal computer should continue to perform predictablyl for years veteran Windows users know all toowell that system instability is a fact of life. Yet you can minimize the glitches2 that you experience

2、 with your computer by heeding3 the tips below.First, install as little software as possible. You，11 have fewer software-related conflicts and a system that is easier to manage. Whats more, you11 have more disk space available for virtual memoryz/ , a part of your hard drive that Windows sets aside4

3、 to help manage your system.Second, try not to run any more programs simultaneously than you absolutely need. You11 find that your computer runs more reliably if you limit the number of open applications.Third, you should ensure that you have as much memory RAM in your PC as you need. If you run Win

4、dows 98 or Windows Millennium, your computer should have at least 128 megabytes5 MB ofRAMand more if you find that your hard drive is churning6 a lot asyou work with your applications?. You can also get by with 128 MB of RAM if you use Windows NT or Windows 2000, but theseoperating systems will run

5、much more smoothly if you have 256 MB of RAM or more.Fourth, avoid installing beta8 software. Beta software, by its very nature, is pre? release softwaremeaning that it still has significantknown bugs or defects。 The same goes,unfortunately for many shareware programs. The authors of shareware progr

6、ams typically, have much less time and fewer resources available for testing their programs. Consequently its farmore common to find shareware software that is buggy.Fifth, make sure you buy good hardware. No-name products may be cheaper and sometimes just as good as name-brand products but name-bra

7、nd products usually became well-known because of theirreliability. Its also wise to buy products from reputable companies because Windows will more often support the hardware that you purchase. If you are starting out with computers its also agood idea to buy ready? made systems from major manufactu

8、rers. These are likely to have been tested thoroughly with your operating system, and you will generally experience fewer problems.Sixth, avoid the temptation to try to fix something that isnt broken. If your system is running well, theres no need to install a utility program that claims to make it

9、run better or more reliably.Seventh, do prepare for disaster. No matter how well your system runs when you get it, the day will come when it will need to be replaced. Hopefully, you will replace it because thetechnology has become outdated, but you may need to replace it also because the hard drive

10、crashes or you begin experiencing problems that no one can figure out. Thats why its important toback up your important files regularly. Whether you use a tape backup device or a CD-RW drive, its important to map out9 a regular backup schedule and to stick to it.獲得一臺(tái)新電腦是一碼事，讓它流暢地運(yùn)行是另一碼事。雖然，一臺(tái)個(gè)人電腦肯定應(yīng)

11、 該連續(xù)使用多年，但資深的電腦使用者們很清楚，系統(tǒng)不穩(wěn)定是生活中不爭的事實(shí)。但如 果能夠注意到以下提示，你使用電腦時(shí)，遇到的系統(tǒng)小故障數(shù)量就會(huì)減到最少。第一，安裝盡可能少的軟件，你就會(huì)遇到盡可能少的與軟件有關(guān)的沖突，系統(tǒng)也會(huì)更 易于操作;而且，也會(huì)有更多的硬盤空間用來做虛擬內(nèi)存 .Windows就會(huì)將節(jié)省下來的部 分硬盤用來輔助操作系統(tǒng)。第二，如果不是必需的話，盡可能不要同時(shí)運(yùn)行多個(gè)程序。你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)，如果限制打開 的應(yīng)用程序的數(shù)量，你的電腦會(huì)運(yùn)行得更加穩(wěn)定。第三，應(yīng)該保證在你的電腦中有足夠的內(nèi)存來滿足你的需要。如果運(yùn)行Windows98或 Windows Millennium操作系統(tǒng)，電腦中至少

12、要有128兆內(nèi)存，或者當(dāng)你使用應(yīng)用軟件時(shí)， 如果發(fā)現(xiàn)系統(tǒng)顛簸許久的話，需要的內(nèi)存就更多。如果使用WindowsNT或Windows2000操作系統(tǒng)，你也可以用128兆內(nèi)存，但是如果你有256兆或者更 多的內(nèi)存，那么這兩套操作系統(tǒng)就會(huì)運(yùn)行更加流暢。第四，避免安裝試用版軟件。試用版軟件，就其本質(zhì)來說，就是預(yù)先發(fā)行試用的軟件, 這就意味著它還有重大的、已知的錯(cuò)誤或缺陷。同樣遺憾的是，許多共享式軟件也是如此。 共享式軟件的設(shè)計(jì)者們通常沒有足夠的時(shí)間和資源來測試他們的程序，因此發(fā)現(xiàn)共享式軟 件有缺陷是相當(dāng)普遍的事實(shí)。第五，一定要保證你買的硬件的質(zhì)量。沒名的雜牌硬件產(chǎn)品可能比較便宜而且有時(shí)與 品牌硬件質(zhì)量一樣好，但是品牌產(chǎn)品之所以出名就是因?yàn)樗麄兊姆€(wěn)定性。另外一個(gè)明智的 作法就是買信譽(yù)較好的公司的產(chǎn)品，因?yàn)閃indows更有可能支持你所購買的它們的硬件。 如果你正準(zhǔn)備攢一臺(tái)新電腦，從主要生產(chǎn)商那購買現(xiàn)成的系統(tǒng)軟件這也是個(gè)好主意。這些 系統(tǒng)軟件很可能已經(jīng)全面地在你的操作系統(tǒng)下測試過，通常情況下，你不會(huì)遇到什么問題。第六，避免試圖修補(bǔ)本沒有損壞的軟件。如果電腦系統(tǒng)運(yùn)行良好，你就沒有必要安裝 據(jù)稱能使你
