Getting a new PC is one thing. Keeping it running smoothly is quite another. While a personal computer should continue to perform well for years, users know that system unsteadiness does exist. Yet you can reduce it to the smallest amount by following the tips below.

First, put in as little software(软件) as possible. You’ll have fewer software—related problems and a system that is easier to manage.

Second, you should ensure that you have as much memory (RAM) in your PC as you need. If you run Windows 98,your computer should have at least 128 megabytes(MB) of RAM and more. You can also get by with 128 MB of RAM if you use Windows NT or Windows 2000,but these operating systems will run much more smoothly if you have 256 MB of RAM or more.

Third, make sure you buy good hardware(硬件).No-name products may be cheaper and sometimes just as good as name-brand products, but name-brand products usually become well-known because of their steadiness. It’s wise to buy products from famous companies because Windows will more often support the hardware that you buy. If you are starting out with computers, it’s also a good idea to buy ready-made systems from major manufacturers(制造商).They are likely to have been tested thoroughly with your operating system, and you will generally experience fewer problems.

Fourth, do prepare for disaster. No matter how well your system runs when you get it, the day will come when it will need to be replaced. Hopefully, you will replace it because technology has become out-dated, but you may need to replace it also because the hard drive crashes(毁掉) or you begin experiencing problems that no one can figure out. That’s why it’s important to copy your important information regularly. Whether you use a tape backup device or a CD-RW drive, it’s important to make a regular backup plan and stick to it.

Answer 1

答案：1C2A3B4D
解析：

1、根据文章第三段最后两句话可以知道：如果你想用Windows 2000或Windows NT操作系统，要求计算机的内存最小为128MB，最好是256MB。 2、作者共给出四条建议，但第四条说的是关于电脑老化所带来的故障及升级问题，还建议使用者及时保存重要文件，这与买电脑无关。 3、该题为推理判断题。电脑硬盘驱动器出故障所带来的最直接的损害当然是文件的丢失。 4、该题为主旨大意题。文章的中心内容是告诉读者怎样使电脑运行更稳定。第一段的开始两句话可以看作是主题句。
