While a personal computer should continue to perform
predictably for years, veteran Windows users know all too well that system
instability is a fact of life. Yet you can minimize the glitches that you
experience with your computer by heeding the tips below. 2. If
you run Windows 98 or Windows Millennium, your computer should have at least 128
megabytes (MB) of RAM--and more if you find that your hard drive is churning a
lot as you work with your applications. You can also get by with 128 MB of RAM
if you use Windows NT or Windows 2000, but these operating systems will run much
more smoothly if you have 256 MB of RAM or more. 3. Beta
software, by its very nature, is pre-release software—meaning that it still has
significant known bugs (or defects). The same goes, unfortunately, for many
shareware programs. The authors of shareware programs, typically, have
much less time and fewer resources available for testing their programs.
Consequently, it’ s far more common to find shareware software that is
buggy. 4. No-name hardwares may be cheaper and sometimes just
as good as name-brand products, but name-brand products usually became
well-known because of their reliability. It’s also wise to buy products from
reputable companies because Windows will more often support the hardware that
you purchase. If you are starting out with computers, it’s also a good idea to
buy ready-made systems from major manufacturers. These are likely to have tested
thoroughly with your operating system, and you will generally experience fewer
problems. 5. No matter how well your system runs when you get
it, the day will come when it will need to be replaced. Hopefully, you will
replace it because the technology has become outdated, but you may need to
replace it also because the hard drive crashes or you begin experiencing
problems that no one can figure out. That’s why it’s important to back up your
important files regularly. Whether you use a tape backup device or a CD-RW
drive, it’s important to map out a regular backup schedule and to stick to
it. Paragraph 5 ______
