the hibernation feature copies whatever is in the RAM and CPU (awaiting processing) to the HDD, then shuts down the computer

if you then turn your comp on, it will copy it back, like you never shut down your comp....... it boots really fast (bout 1/2 normal boot time), but in my experience it produces alot of errors.........

hibernation is sorta like turning your computer off except it saves everything u had open on your desktop and other users had open to the hard disk based on how much ram u have.
so if u have 512mb of ram then hibernation is giving the hard disk a dedicated 512mb all of the time.

disabling hibernation frees up that 512mb but won&#39;t make ur comp any faster.

remember that most tweaks wont really give you any noticable improvement..... certainly not on their own........ 512MB should be more than enough to run your comp 24/7........

i do it with
slsk, azureus, emule AVG, Folding@Home and MSN running non-stop

and every now and then i play a movie or surf with firefox

though i must say that i have to restart slsk every other day to stop it hogging to many resources (but thats more slsk&#39;s fault than anything else), azureus every week.......

There&#39;s lots of info on that page. Try empting your prefetch folder . The performance tweaks are good aswell. Or try the setting up as a game machine.

If you have an ATI card don&#39;t try the memory tweak , thats in anouther topic. I found out the hard way.
