Slow Computer? Find out how to speed up my PC.
Many home users and system administrators assume that a slow computer developed over a long period of time but actually, if you tracked the performance levels of a slow computer, you would find that it was slow right out of the box and just kept getting worse. The reason? Disk fragmentation occurs the moment you install programs and write or delete files. A lot of this is done before the computer ships. Plus, the more you use your computer the slower it gets. Fragmentation is the reason users have never experienced peak performance from their machines. They have always had slow computers.
All PCs suffer from fragmentation. Windows® operating systems fragment files to fit them on the hard disk. Fragmented files take longer to access and to save. By design, the operating system will fragment the used space on the hard drive first rather than just filling up all the free space. So a new computer with a freshly installed operating system and basic applications is already highly fragmented. Compared to the performance it was designed to deliver, it is a slow computer.
Defragmentation helped, but the best solution to the slow computer is to prevent fragmentation in the first place. Diskeeper® 2010 performance technology includes revolutionary new functionality that actually prevents up to 85% of fragmentation before it can happen. Immediately a computer saves all the resources that would have been wasted writing fragmented files to a disk. For prior fragmentation and for the slight amount that isn’t prevented, Diskeeper has powerful defrag engines that run in real-time with zero resource conflicts.
Diskeeper’s effect on productivity and profitability can be significant. It is real relief from tightening IT budgets, backlogged system support issues and the need for hardware upgrades. Servers and workstations can be run at peak performance 24/7 without accumulating fragmentation.
As a result, systems have less downtime, shorter boot times, faster access rates and require less administration. Server and workstation productive life expectancy is extended by an additional one to three years. Overall, Diskeeper brings about a lower total cost of ownership.
