How to improve wind performance index

Windows performance index is an indicator that is a numerical assessment of computer performance. The minimum performance index is 1, maximum - 7.9. The closer the figure to 7.9, the faster the computer works in the Windows operating system.

The cumulative performance index indicator consists of processor performance indicators, RAM, video cards in 2D and 3D mode, system hard disk. In this case, it cannot be higher than the lowest component indicator. In this case, the principle is valid «weak link »: The computer works as quickly as quickly as quickly works its slowest part. Therefore, for example, it is not necessary to strive to install a powerful video card, having a mediocre processor, the winning of such an improvement will be a small tolik.

The hard disk is usually the slowest from the personal computer devices: if one HDD format is used, the system estimate will not exceed 5.9. For an ordinary home or office computer of a simple hard disk, it is quite enough, the lowest estimate in the work will be expressed only in a longer loading of programs, on the speed of the programs themselves, if there is a sufficient number of RAM, this parameter does not affect. To enlarge this indicator:

combine two and more hard drives in the RAID array, hard drives will work and determine in Windows as one, with a parallel recording and reading data speed of their work will double and more.
use the SSD solid state drive to accommodate the operating system, its speed is several times higher than that of HDD, but at the same time its value and cost;
the highest performance can be obtained by combining several SSD disks into the RAID array.

The graph of performance of the video card depends on its power proportionally: the more powerful the video card, the higher the performance. Video card in 3D mode determines the performance of three-dimensional graphics and games, 2D - Windows Aero desktop performance.

The performance of RAM is influenced by two indicators: memory frequency and timings (delays in circulation):

the higher the first indicator, and the lower the second - the faster the RAM employs, the higher its evaluation will be;
memory with high frequency and low timings can cost several times more common with the same volume;
the usual memory can be forced to work faster, exposing the frequency and timings manually in the BIOS, it is not recommended to do this, since there is a risk of output.

In total processor performance, indicators are taken into account such as the number of cores, frequency, quantity of cache memory, generation of the processor. Without replacing the processor, it is possible to affect its frequency. These actions are called «acceleration » or «overclocking ». This requires an experience or study of the acceleration technique. Otherwise, it is possible to spoil the processor or the entire computer.
