Time to DEFRAG

I know what you FPS (First Person Shooter) fans are thinking, "OMG, lyke, he said frag in the title and that means he got a kill).

I'm sorry, but defragmentation is MUCH better for your health.

Apparently not a lot of people don't know how to defrag their computers, but also don't even know what it is or haven't even heard of it.

This quick article from BusinessWire gives some numbers...

Those of you that haven't defragged your computer in a while or have never done it, we here at Devicing suggest you should, because your hard drive will fall in love with you right after you do it. It's like a cure for Hard Drive Alzheimers, it works wonder and your computer will run as fast as it did when you first got it.

Remembering to defrag is a thing of the past....I use Diskeeper Pro 2007 and it has a slick automatic mode. Set it and leave it alone, Diskeeper nicely defrags the drives automatically whenever fragmentation increases. Cool program.

Haha, very good point. Once you remember to defrag the next step is making sure it happens, so setting it up to do it over-night or something is perfect.

I never found the defrag tool that comes with Windows all that effective. I've been using UltimateDefrag from Disktrix and it does tons more AND looks awesome while doing it ha.

Alzheimers of the HDD, is a good way to describe the fragmentation disease. It is very painful to work on a system that freezes or hangs when many programs are running or while trying to perform more than one or two tasks.I am going to be very regular wiht my routine.

Mostly it's the system craving for more ram and having a hard time swapping back to disk. If OSX had (more?) support for swap partitions thing would never get that painful.

Anyway, just a reminder: getting more RAM _is_ an option. An option I used not to consider and I was always wrong.
