BOOST YOUR PROCESSING POWER

 

Get more processing power

 

In the Run box, type “Rundll32.exe advapi32.dll,ProcessIdleTasks�. This frees up any idle tasks running in the background so that Windows XP can devote its full attention to what you want it to do. For example playing graphic intensive games.

 

Disable Indexing Services

 

Indexing services is a small program that hogs HUGE amounts of RAM and can often make a computer endlessly loud and noisy. This system process indexing and updates lists of the files on your system, so you can search for them quickly, but it’s completley unnessesary. To disable it, go to the Control Panel and click Add/Remove Programs. Click the Add/Remove Window Components. Simply unclick the Indexing services and click next!

 

Disable zip folders

 

Are the ZIP folders too slow for you? Disable it by unregistering the file zipfldr.dll.

In the Run box, type � regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll �

 

Reduce 10 second scandisk wait time

 

Start MS Dos Prompt (Start run CMD)

CHKNTFS/T:4 where 4 is the amount of waity time

Type CHKNTFS/? for more info

 

CDFS Tweaks

 

Whats the one thing we hate most when copying something from CD, for me at least, is the speed in which the data is copied. Here is the changes that must be made

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem\CDFS

Look for that registry key, if not there, you must create a new key, then add the following values:-

 

CacheSize, this must be added as a binary value, then type in this value: ff ff 00 00

Prefetch, this key must be added as a DWORD value, then type in this value: 4000 hex

PrefetchTail, this key must be added as a DWORD value, then type in this value: 4000 hex

Let the ripping begin

 

Increase ‘CPU priority tweak’ effect

 

First you must set the CPU Priority setting tweak.Using ‘Regedit’, go to this location:� HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\PriorityControl\� and set the “Win32PrioritySeparation� to “38�

 

The last adjustment

 

Set the “Launch folder windows in separate process� setting by opening the “My Computer\Tools\Folder Options\View -and tick the “Launch folder windows in separate process� box. Window XP will open any new window(including program) in its own memory and in separate process priority.(increase stability and speed but use much more RAM than before)

Note: Sometimes this 2 tweak can cause unresponsive keyboard and mouse in Counter-Strike.

Mainter, here's some Linux distros that you coulod use on that machine-

 

http://www.delilinux.de/http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/sh...threadid=319077

BasicLinux

 

Any of these running as console would do fine on 16MB of RAM.

 

Plus, the Linux kernel was developed with 4 MB of RAM, I believe.

 

If he's just running a text based browser I'm sure it works fine, especially if he's just checking his email.

Thanks. Having to use old machines has gotten me interested in the idea of smaller Linux systems that actually work.

 

I was wondering whether he was able to show you how he did that....if not, and you see him again, you should see what he's running on there and how well it works.

 

I just realized that most cell phones have browsers on them, so it can be done with even less than 16 MB of RAM.

 

You know, you could be right about him using it as a sniffer, too. If he is, then he's probably using Ethereal or something like it. However, you would think that if he was skilled enough to use a sniffer, it wouldn't be too hard for him to get into the code and fix it himself (unless it was a hardware problem).

 

Also, there's Dillo. I've used it, pretty basic but it gets you online.

can windows xp detect any kind of problems with a power supply?

 

no if the power suppy is going you will notice alot of random shutdowns burning electic smell comming from the back loud buzzing(could be harddrive too) if worse comes to worse a fire will start and start shooting out the back in most cases if the powersuppy starts goings south it will take longer for the computer to boot up and soon it will not boot at all
