How Much Memory the PC Has - The CPU uses RAM, short for Random Access Memory, to store data that it is
processing and enough memory is vital to the computer for it to run quickly. If a computer runs out of memory space
then it has to temporarily store stuff to the hard drive which takes a longer time to write and retrieve. An average
computer will function well with around 4GB of RAM. Gaming computers require a lot more memory though, to process
all the high definition graphics.
The Size of the Hard Drive - The hard drive is used to store things like pictures, videos, and documents. This is where
you will keep all the stuff you save so choose wisely based on how much you will need. Around 300GB is plenty of room
for the average user.
Don’t Let Dust Kill You’re PC
Not only do you need to keep you’re hard drive organized, the physical maintenance of the PC is also important. After a
while, a computer can gather a descent amount of dust around the hardware if it is regularly used. This dust needs to be
removed to prevent damage to the components.
A little bit of dust is okay but not a lot of it. The clutter of dust can prevent certain components from functioning properly.
This problem can be easily solved by vacuuming the computer regularly or using compressed air to blow the dust out.
You can get a can of condensed air in stores like Office Depot. When you do vacuum your computer, make sure not to
touch any of the hardware unless you know what you are doing. Condensed air is more efficient and will make sure to
remove any of the resistant dust on the hardware. After all of this, your computer will be able to breathe a lot easier.
Delete a File Without Sending it to the Recycle Bin
If you want to delete something and you know for sure that you won’t need it anymore than why send it to the recycle bin
and then go delete it again later. If you let your recycle bin build up with stuff, later on you might not know what needs to
be deleted and what was maybe sent there on accident. Here’s the shortcut.
1. Hold down Shift on your keyboard.
2. Right-click the item you want to delete and click delete.
*You will be asked if you want to delete the item instead of send it to the recycle bin.
