What grade are you in? Do you have a book about computers? Do you know how to use the Internet? Is there a library near by?

Defrag the hardrive, speeds up some programs.
Get a faster CPU, speeds up some programs.
Get more RAM, speeds up some programs.
Get faster RAM(new mobo required), speeds up some programs.
Get faster interface(ie ide<sata<scsi), speeds up some programs.
Run only the program you need, definetly speeds up the program(spyware).
Have no virus', speeds up some programs. Have a virus, the virus runs just fine.

To test any one of these hypothetical situations, Use the folding program.

Bios rocks.

Can personelize how the stacks of memeory, and the data(zeros and ones people) are used, and add hotkey into the mix, sky's the limit. Don't know much about it, but I do know math. I'm convinced its working good for whoever customises it best. I have to relly on quick point and clicky software..
