School Computers

ms-das · 05-27-2007, 06:00 AM

My School Computers boot up and perform faster in office applications a lot faster than my home computer. However, I checked the hardware on my school computers, and my home computer has newer hardware, and the same OS (Windows Xp Pro.) I am wondering if any of you know how to optimize Windows XP, just like the people at my school have done, so that it will be faster for homework.

Thanks,

Could be lots of things... But my guess would be your HDs. Espcailly if they are older ones, but in general, smaller drives are slower. I know, it's not ALWAYS the case
