In essence IT means, anything to do with computers. What does come important the more you use your system is the question of performance. There are many ways to increase this criteria of your operating system by carrying out minor tweaks or by installing new hardware such as Ram cards or memory cards as they are commonly called.

A paging file is used by the operating system to carry out functions.

It is relatively simple to do this by clicking on the computer icon and then right clicking on properties. S

Space that is used when computing lots of processes at the same time. Your paging file however is located on the hard disk. This exercise can be done quite simply by going to your control panel and clicking on computer then on properties in the drop down menu provided.

It is little fixes such as these that make using your system that more fun. They can become cumbersome and frustrating with time when overloaded with unnecessary files.
