CPU utilization
It is well known that the Central Processing Unit ( CPU ) is the brains of the computer . It organizes the processes in your Dell computer to help keep it running smoothly . If you’re wondering if an application may be slowing down your system , you can check the Performance tab in Windows Task Manager to see whether the application is taking more than its fair share of power . Windows Task Manager provides details on each process running on your computer , allowing you to find those programs that affect your PC’s efficiency and then you can decide to unload it or not according to your own facts . Only in this way can you make full use of CPU and can you speed up your Dell computer .
Keep your PC up to date
One of the best things you can do to tune up your Dell PC is also one of the easiest : make sure you are set up to get automatic updates from Microsoft . You should use the Microsoft Update service if you use Windows 7 OS and other Microsoft software , such as Microsoft Office or Windows Live Essentials . You can also get notices about new Microsoft software from Microsoft that you can download for free . You can go to the Microsoft Update website to get automatic updates , and then you can keep your Dell up to date .
Ready Boost

ReadyBoost uses available storage space on a removable device to boost your system speed . Most flash drives and flash memory cards can help speed up your computer .
