Question

how do you fix processor speed

Answer 1

How would you break it?

Are you trying to ask how to overclock? That is machine dependent ant takes some research on the machine.

Answer 2

You can not fix processor speed per say. You can overclock it. However, if you are asking how to free memory to make the processor speed faster you must reduce the used ram by ending processes.

Answer 3

@snipem1438 Good point. If you read the question as, "How would I improve my computer speed?" it has a whole different meaning. And many people call a computer a processor or CPU, not realizing the difference between the machine and a part in the machine.

@TheCatMan Can you make the question a little clearer?

Answer 4

@e.mccormick I do have to agree. The question is a bit unclear and it would serve well to have this better clarified.

Answer 5

The clock rate is the speed at which a processor executes instructions. To increase it, you simply need to have an optimum level processor that suits your needs or you need to keep your process threads to a minimum if you don't have a swanky, latest processor. Anything else is going to cost you, dearly. i.e. A CHANGE OF PROCESSOR. take care.

Answer 6

A lot of times, when someone wants their speed fixed, it means they have a lot of things on the computer slowing it down.

The easiest way for a non-technical user to keep the speed down is to reinstall the operating system. This lets you get rid of everything you don't need anymore and you'll only really put back on the things you want to use. Fresh start for both you and your computer.

A better approach if you don't want to have to set things up again is to go into your startup settings and stop all of the big applications from starting with your system... quite a few programs find their way into this startup protocol and it makes boot slow and can affect the availability of CPU resources even after a reboot.


Additionally, the appearance of a slow machine is often attributed to processor speed, but other resources can be in contention within an OS. You may have a slow hard disk or reasonably small or slow RAM. If programs take a long time to open or it takes a long time to switch between applications that are open, this may be the problem.

What is the actual problem you're having? What is your computer doing and what is it you want/need your computer to do?

Please define the word "fix".
