We are living in decade where technology is something which has wide spread almost every horizons of life.  As the technology enhanced in every field so increased myths and false beliefs regarding many of them. Below are such 10 myths which you also might be aware, not as myths but as the truth. Read more to find it.

1. Right click and refresh makes your pc fast:  It was something very effective older days when computers used to have less memory and always run out of system memory. But todays computers are much improved with adequate memory and so doing a refresh won’t give you any benefit. But people still continue this habit as a routine which they used to do older times which refreshes the display / Explorer to quickly reclaimed free RAM after closing a process some years ago.
2. Mac machine will never get infected with virus: Well when compared to Windows, Mac is has less numbers that’s true. Well since Windows is having large number of users worldwide, infections and attacks against it is more. But this does not mean that Mac is virus proof. And to add on the recent popularity of Mac machines has made the shift of virus creators to focus more on Mac machines. So take the precaution since as the old saying matters that prevention is always better than cure. And you have a good free anti-virus also so go grab it: Free antivirus for your Mac: ClamXav.
3. More RAM means more speed: Well if someone says “oh my system is very slow, what to do”. Then 95 out of 100 would recommend upgrading RAM. Well it’s absolutely right thing to do but not always. There are lot more things to keep in mind like the processor which you are using, temp  and junk files, spywares and adware’s  infections. These are very important since if you ignore this and just go for upgrade you may end up sad that your machine still remains at the old state.
4. For Media and Graphics Mac is the best: Pretty true 10 years ago, not now certainly. Well why? For two reasons. Till 2006 Apple Mac used processors based on PowerPC architecture by IBM. Which when compared to Intel and AMD is much more superior for graphics applications. But from 2006 Apple also shifted its gears to Intel processors. Well this is same which you have in your Windows pc (most pcs). And the second reason, Windows nowadays comes with superior hardware and software support.64 bit pcs are very common nowadays with adequate RAM and configuration which is best for all those purposes. Well if you still believe the saying “Apple is the best” then what can I say.
5.  More Mega pixels ,better camera: This is another myth around the world. To get better images you need more pixels, really? Come on friends there are lots of others things which you need to consider or is important. Like how better is the image sensor inside camera, quality of lens. Well believe it or not the world best camera brand like Nikon and Cannon still gives brilliant shots with just 6 mega pixels much much better than your 15 MP camera.
6. Graphics card with more memory means better graphics: This is a simple marketing scam. But unfortunately most of us believe it. We must consider more things while selecting these. Simple way is the model name which will give you lots of clue. Like suppose you have two cards to select from example models XYZ HD 500 with 1 GB RAM and XYZ HD 200 with 2 GB RAM. You may think the 2 GB one will be the best whereas the first one which is more superior will give you 2 or more the speed than the second. The simple trick is check the version number (here in this demo example I have mentioned HD 500 and HD 200) so even if you have 2 GB the in HD 200 the performance would be lesser than the first HD 500 with 1 GB RAM.
7. Delete files from Recycle bin, it’s gone forever: Never! Even with a free copy of data recovery software available freely on net, you can retrieve most of the so called permanently deleted contents. So next time if you are giving your pc or laptop to someone after a deletion all your personal/sensitive contents won’t help you. Better option is to do a complete format of the machine which makes it almost tough for common people to retrieve it data back.
8. CPU with MORE cores faster: This is a myth which got popularity in recent times, well since now we are living in an age of multi core processors. A multi core AMD processor is much slower than Pentium 4. Also a four-core Sandy Bridge processor from Intel is faster than six-core processors from AMD. Technically there is much to explain for this but which I think it’s out of the scope of this article.
9. Better antivirus comes with expensive price: This is something which is irrelevant nowadays. For example the free antivirus from Microsoft –Microsoft Essentials is very good when compared the high priced ones available in the market. It gives you all the protection which a paid antivirus offers you or even better than those. Other good choices in free versions are Avast, Avira, AVG which gives you best results even being completely free.
10. USB drives need to stop before removing:  Well if you doing a data transfer between your pc and the USB device (thumb drive, hard drive etc) this is required. Well the simple reason is if you remove the device between the data transfer process it can make the process incomplete. Other than this you can just pull the device. Nothing will happen since USB drive biggest specialty is that and its made for it.
