No. A bigger hard disk drive does not usually mean a faster computer. It only means that your computer can hold more data before it crashes. The speed of your central processing unit sometimes called your chip mainly determines the speed of your computer. While other factors enter in, it remains the main reason.

This is usually because as you use computer more and more, you filled the harddisk more and more. But also as you use your computer more and more you got more executable files and use some of the system resources running them. These can be what you installed or spyware or viruses.

∙ 9y agoNo, the size of the hard drive has nothing to do with the system's overall speed. The hard drive is a storage device. So the larger the hard drive, the more installed programs you can have, and the larger of a library of programs, music, documents, and videos you can have. Larger hard drives of the same type are often a little faster than smaller ones, and usually newer, and thus programs might load a little faster. But that only affects program loading speed.
A computer's speed is determined more by the speed and family of CPU, and the memory speed and type does play a role. The amount of memory (RAM) tends to factor in after you have been using the PC for a while and have decided to run multiple programs. If you run low on memory, the hard drive may be used as memory through the creation of swap files, where some of the contents in memory is moved to the hard drive to free up enough memory for something else. So the more memory you have, the longer it takes to get to that point.

How do you make runescape faster for mac?
Basically, you need: 1) A fast computer, and 2) A decent Internet connection. You may need to buy a faster computer, but any computer that is about 5 years old or less should work, especially if the computer has enough memory (RAM). Or you might buy a larger amount of RAM for your computer - more memory tends to make the computer faster. Other than that, you may try some tricks that make computers faster in general - making sure you have enough free disk space (at least 20% or so of the hard disk should be free); closing most programs (running several programs at once tends to make the computer slower); defragmenting the hard disk (defragmenting it once a month or so should help make the computer faster in general); making sure you have no viruses or similar malware. In RuneScape itself, choosing a lower image quality can make the game faster.
