A user's computer has two hard disks. The operating system and all applications are installed on the first hard disk. The second hard disk is used only to store backups of critical files. The computer is running Windows XP Professional.
The user reports that the system is slow when accessing certain applications. You launch the application and discover that there is a lot of disk access when running certain tasks. You use Task Manager and notice that the application is using a lot of memory.
What can you do to optimize performance? (Select TWO.)
1. >>Move the paging file to the second hard disk.
2. Configure the hard disks in a striped (RAID 0) volume.
3. Reinstall the operating system on the second hard disk.
4. Move the user's My Documents folder to the second hard disk.
5. >>Add more RAM to the computer.
Explanation : One way to resolve the problem is to move the paging file to the second hard disk. The paging file is used to swap data in and out of physical Random Access Memory (RAM). When performance is poor and there is a lot of disk access, the most likely problem is memory. You can either add more RAM or optimize the paging file. One way to optimize the paging file is to move it to a different hard disk than the one where the operating system is installed.
If the budget allows, you can also resolve the problem by increasing physical RAM. Doing so will cause the computer to rely less on the paging file.
Reinstalling the operating system on the second hard disk will not resolve the problem. The paging file is created on the same hard disk as the one where the operating system is installed by default.
You cannot configure the hard disks in a striped volume. The system and boot partitions must be located on a simple volume. They cannot be located on a striped volume.
Moving the user's My Documents folder to the second hard disk will not resolve the problem. The problem is caused by memory consumption. Moving the My Documents folder to the second hard disk might improve file access times for documents in the My Documents folder, but it will not resolve the problem the user is having.
