Boost windows performance and game speed (formally tweak xp) : General Discussion - Page 2

Hahah no way I'm trying this last time I did something like it I screwed over my computer.

Then your doing soemthing wrong...

Try tweakxp its a program that does it automaticly for you ;P

No what I did was I saved a system restore point and I wanted to see what it did and I ran it and halfway I deleted it.

I almost completely destroyed my computer by doing that and I would've had to buy a new one even though this one's fairly new.

Dont have to buy a new one... just format the pc and fresh install xp

System restore is nothing but software side. It wont do anything to your hardware or bios or anything that could render your system useless

According to a few sources on the net, changing this value on XP systems will not change anything. Apparently on OS's after w2k sp1, the OS no longer references this and the value is locked at 64mb.

for your speed up system information i was wondering first i allready went to mscofig and shut down background system and ms programs do i have to change this also i have 512 ddr ram with hyperthreading are they seperate or do i consider it 512 ram or two 256 ram

My guess is they are two seperate pieces if they are HT.

works great, only 1 thing. yo udont want to turn of the usb plug and play support >.<

It's really a matter of opinion, some people think its of the devil because there are aledged exploits with Plug and Play but when you think about it, was has microsoft made that cant be exploited?
