Cache is the internal memory of the operating system, which stores data about running programs, contributing to their faster work. To increase the power and speed of the computer, the amount of information stored in the cache can be increased.
Instructions
Step 1
Right-click on the "My Computer" icon on the desktop and select "Properties". Go to the "Advanced" tab and click on the button for changing the system performance parameters. On the "Advanced" tab, enable the "Optimize background services" and "Optimize system cache" items. After applying the parameters, the capabilities of the system cache will be increased, this will help reduce the memory load, speed up the launch and operation of some applications.
Step 2
Change the paging file value on the same Advanced tab in Performance Options. This is the current size of the system cache, which stores information about the operation of applications. By default, the system automatically specifies the appropriate value for the paging file, but if your computer has low RAM, you can double this parameter. With a large amount of RAM, the paging file can be disabled altogether. This will speed up the performance of system applications.
Step 3
Increase the cache in your Internet browser, which stores information about previously loaded pages and other elements, which leads to faster opening of them later. For example, in Internet Explorer, go to Internet Options, then Browsing History and click Options. Set the appropriate cache size in the Temporary Files and Log Settings window. In the Firefox browser, select the "Advanced" tab, then "Network". Select "Disable automatic cache management" and set the options you want. In Opera, cache settings are edited in the "History" window on the "Advanced" tab in the browser settings.
