MIAMI, FL, October 01, 2010 (Press-News.org) What: PC users are often told that disabling the Windows Search index will significantly increase performance and reduce hard disk activity. PC optiminization specialist TuneUp investigates whether this tip if fact or fiction at blog.tune-up.com.
The feature in question, Windows Search, creates an index of specific files, folders and other items, such as Outlook emails or Start Menu entries, that are stored on a user's hard disk. This index is loaded into the main memory (RAM) of a PC and allows for extremely fast searches. TuneUp conducted performance tests to find out whether shutting down this Windows 7 feature is actually worth the performance benefit.
Who: Any PC user with Windows 7, who is looking to increase PC performance. The benchmarks and tips are easily understood by anyone, regardless of technical background.
Where: TuneUp provides detailed performance tests, helpful screenshots and benchmark results at blog.tune-up.com. All of the information is free, and readers can post their own experiences directly on the blog to help fellow readers.
When: PC users can access the free benchmarks anytime by visiting blog.tune-up.com or by interacting with TuneUp's PC tuning experts on Twitter and Facebook.
