    Windows XP Memory:
    These Settings will fine tune your systems memory

    management -atleast 256MB of ram recccomended

    go to start\run\regedit -and then to the following key

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management

    1.DisablePagingExecutive -double click it and in the decimal put a 1 - this allows XP to keep data in memory now instead of paging sections of ram to harddrive yeilds faster performance.

    2.LargeSystemCache- double click it and change the decimal to 1 -this allows XP Kernal to Run in memory improves system performance alot

    3.create a new dword and name it IOPageLockLimit - double click it and set the value in hex - 4000 if you have 128MB of ram or set it to 10000 if you have 256MB set it to 40000 if you have more than 512MB of ram -this tweak will speed up your disckcache

    Reboot and watch your system fly ..happy tweakin

    I Got this information from here.

    i did those tweaks yesterday read it somewhere else but i never got a chance to try it...after applying the next time i restarted was to format.


    anyway thanks for reminding me to try them again.

    and @maskawaih, the guide i read was for windows xp and 2000 so for 2000 it should be fine.

    Read the first post carefully. It says atleast 256mb ram reccommended. I'm sure it helped you out but not much.

    You should only do step 3, DarkNess4Ever...
