How To Speed Up Computer

[NDN]

I think it's time for me to pick up a new computer, but until I do, I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to speed up an old one.

It's not a space issue I am having, but a virtual memory issue that is slowing things down for me (more and more often these days and it's really quite annoying).

Aside from buying a new computer or buying more memory for this one, does anyone have any suggestions?

I've done all of the obvious things and some of the not so obvious things that you can find on Google, but haven't seen much of an improvement.

So if you have any tips (aside from the obvious), I'd be grateful if you shared them!

The only way to fix it is to upgrade ram.
