There are a lot of factors that influence the speed of your computers and network. Here's a short summary of some of them:

You may need more memory. Memory is one of the most important contributors to your computer's speed (or lack thereof.)

You may be running unnecessary processes. Windows runs many programs and services for your benefit. Sometimes you don't need all of these for what you're trying to do. You may even have more than one process trying to do the same thing, and fighting over the resources that they need.

You might have spyware or adware on your machine. This malicious software is planted on your computer by unscrupulous advertising companies to gather information about you or to force their customers' advertising messages in your face. Spyware is often poorly written and can consume a great deal of your computer's resources, slowing it, and you, down.

Network connectivity, if it isn't done right, can have a heavy impact on your computers' and network's performance.

System settings must be matched to the usage and configuration of the computer in order to wring maximum performance out of your system.

Don't worry if all of this seems daunting. It isn't your job to know this stuff - it's ours! Gateway Systems, Inc. will carefully evaluate these and other factors and apply the necessary remedies to get your systems running at their peak performance.
