Tip > Free up memory and speed up your computer

Limit the number of programs you are running at any given time. This includes programs running in the system tray. (The system tray is all the icons to the left of your clock on the lower right corner of your screen.) You may not realize it but ALL those programs are running in the background at the same time as anything else. This takes up valuable system memory.... Screen Savers and Real Audio/Video are notorious for this.
