on windows xp, go to run. type in %temp%, cookies, and prefetch. clean those folders out then empty the recycling bin. it should make ur computer run a little faster because it has less files to read.

∙ 9y agoThere's several things you can do.
First make sure your hard drive isn't getting full. If you have pictures you don't look at, movies/shows you have watched and aren't planning on watching again, music you don't listen to, documents you no longer need, etc. Toss them in the recycle bin.
Then you can do a disk defragmentation, or on Windows 8 it's called Disk Optimization.
Then make sure all your drivers are up to date.
If you still have issues there's software on the market designed to speed up your computer and make it run as good as new. PC Speed Boost is one I have used in the past and it made my old computer's performance markedly better.

Will a computer function without ram?
No, a computer uses RAM (Random Axcess Memory) to function. RAM also determines the speed of you're computer; the more RAM the faster he computer.
Why might you not mind using slower memory if faster memory is available for a marginal price?
The first reason is that your computer may not be able to run at the speed of the faster memory, so there would be no benefit. The second may be if the computer is not compatible with the faster memory. Depending on the design of the motherboard, some computers cannot take memory faster than they are designed for. In theory, faster memory is supposed to be programmed with the settings to run at the slower speed, but the settings are not always correct, and the faster RAM may still cause a problem with the memory controller of the computer.
