That makes you a target for scammers and unscrupulous companies that are more interested taking your money than solving your problem. We&#8217;ve put together <a href=\"?p=19\">a list of common scams and tricks<\/a> these companies use:<\/p>\n<p>If you have any doubt about whether a company or product is legit, stop by our forums and ask.

One great way to improve performance is with a Redundant Array of Independent Drives (RAID).

With a less-gaudy look, you can squeeze more performance out of your PC. To change the look, right-click the My Computer icon and select Properties. Then click the Advanced tab. Under Performance, click the Settings button. On the Visual Effects tab, click the &#8220;Adjust for best performance&#8221; option. Or, click Custom and check just the features you want to keep. On LCD displays, the &#8220;Smooth edges of screen fonts&#8221; option improves clarity but may also cause a large performance loss depending on your video board.<\/p>\n<h3>About PC Pitstop<\/h3>\n<p>PC Pitstop, LLC (https:\/\/www.pcpitstop.com) was formed in February 2000, and offers users a unique way to make sure their PCs are running fast, stable and secure&#8211;all through a free, Web-based interface.<\/p>\n<h3>Don&#8217;t Want This Newsletter?<\/h3>\n<p>PC Pitstop&#8217;s monthly newsletter is an optional feature of your account.
