faster the performance of the computer and vice versa.
4) Hard disk space
The bigger the space on the hard disk will result to faster performance of the computer. The smaller the space on the hard disk will result in a slower performance of the computer. The hard disk is filled with data this will use most of the memory leaving less memory for the operations of the processor.
5) Multiple applications running on the computer
Multi-tasking tends to slow down the performance of the computer because memory is used to support more than one applications compared to when one application has all the memory to itself. This means that the more applications that are running the slower the computer will perform. Likewise if less or one application is running the performance of the computer will be faster.
6) Type of graphic card
When it comes to quality of pictures and animations graphic cards are the main factors. So if a machine processes many graphics and it has a weak graphic card it will perform slower. This means that the more powerful the graphic card is the faster the performance of the computer.
7) Defragmenting files
Files that are broken or it takes long to read them will mean that the computer will have to defragment them first. This will slow down the performance of the computer.
