Don't you hate it when u wanna blur a bit of a photo but you have to wait a boring long minute while bloody photoshop loads? Don't you hate the slow boot-up times when you ABSOLUTELY have to get on the computer pronto?
Don't stand for it!
I stumbled along this site while hacking a game.. and the protection system kept on restarting my computer.. and i found it when searching "make restart quicker".
Hope this helps you all!
There are 5 tutorials in general that I'd recommend you to read.
Wow, a page long advertisement for XS...
and not to mention, a bad one at that.
And of course there's the fact that we have some very similar guides here on AD....
Care to try again?
Quote:STEP 4: On the EnablePrefetcher value, change the setting from 3 to 5 (decimal).
There IS NO value 5 for that entry. Only 0, 1, 2 and 3. Set your option to 1 or 2, boot files/program files respectively, 0 is off, 3 is all.
All that does is remove the prefetching for programs you've ran the last time the computer was running...or the most commonly used programs. This option prefetches system files.
The prefetch parameter for Adobe works really well, been out for some time now.
To run Firefox quicker, that's been out for decades now...(not literally), and if you use FireTune, you don't have to use about:config. Setting your pipeline to 50 queries is TOO FAST! and will actually slow down your connection to some servers.
Improving memory performance:
The first tweak is essential. The other is not unless you are running a server. From Microsoft:
Quote:Increasing the size of the file system cache generally improves server performance, but it reduces the physical memory space available to applications and services. Similarly, writing system data less frequently minimizes use of the disk subsystem, but the changed pages occupy memory that might otherwise be used by applications.
Unless you're computer has an extraordinary amount of system ram, do not use this tweak.
Limited bandwidth? hahahaha...set to Disabled if it's Enabled, or simply remove QoS Packet Scheduling from your network properties. You can also disable the service.
You really want to increase your network bandwidth? Open up your NIC settings to a use Full 100TBase settings, and not Auto Configured. You cannot increase your bandwidth for your internet unless you pay for more thru your ISP.
Sorry lilazn7, not trying to shoot down what you posted, you're just sharing the information....but that "techie" that posted that stuff is posting 4 year old information that has been on the net in so many other forums and xp tweak sites such as TweakXP.com.
If you are a part of that forum, you have permission to tell them exactly what I said, and point to this conversation.
