Make Your PC desktop Look Different

How to make your pc look different:

       I've seen many people trying to emulate the look and feel of a mac. I had to use dozens of different tutorials for more accuracy, and that took a few months (it would have taken less than a week). So here's my first Instructable; be easy on me!! if you always wanted a mac for its looks, than this is the tutorial for you.

1.Install Better And Free Software

           Still using Adobe Reader to read PDFs? Still using a bloated, expensive antivirus suite? You can probably improve your experience (not to mention make things run a little faster) with a better program—and often, the better alternatives are free!

2.Perform a Little Maintenance

         A little maintenance can go a long way in making your computer feel like new. If you haven't done it in awhile, you might want to clear out some old files, uninstall programs you don't use, and so on—check out our guides to Windows, Mac, and Linux maintenance for more.

3.Overclock Your Processor and Graphics Card

       If you're willing to do some serious tweaking, you can get more bang for your buck by overclocking your computer's processor and (if you're a gamer) graphics card (if you have a netbook or Atom-based PC, we've got a guide for that too). It can harm your computer if done improperly, so be sure to do lots of research before you jump in, but it can really help speed up high-power processes like video encoding or gaming. Of course, if you're gaming, you may also want to familiarize yourself with graphics settings—tweaking them to the right sweet spot is a great way to get better performance for free.

4.Keep It Running Quietly

      Cleaning the dust out of your computer will help it run quieter, but with a few software tweaks, you can take it even further. Check out a program like SpeedFan (for Windows) orsmcFanControl (for Mac) to control your computer's fan speeds. That way you can have them ramp up when you need them, but keep them running on low, quiet power when you don't. They're both free, but if you're willing to spend a bit of money on making your computer silent,you have some other options too. 

5.Ditch Unreliable Wireless and Get Wired

      Wireless internet and peripherals are convenient, but convenient doesn't always equal "best." If your computer's on a wireless network, chances are you'll get slower file transfers between machines, and a less reliable connection to the internet (which can cause problems with gaming, streaming, or video chat). Your internet speeds won't necessarily be slower, but you may experience lag or occasional dropouts. So if you do any of these things, try wiring your computers up with ethernet instead—if you already have a cable lying around, it's a free upgrade that can make a big difference.
