Optimize XP – A Windows XP Optimization Guide

Optimize Windows XP to improve home, work and gaming performance safely. This Free guide will help you improve your overall system performance without having to manually edit the Registry. I avoid using or recommending “all-in-one” Windows XP Tweak programs since many blindly adjust settings that have no affect on performance and can cause future problems. This guide is designed to be performed top to bottom, in sequence since some steps are required to be performed before others. Before using this guide make sure your system meets the Windows XP System Requirements.

“Fantastic software! Dear Sirs, About three and a half years ago I moved from South Africa to New Zealand. Regrettably I moved to an area with no land line connection. Gone was my internet free talking to SA on Skype. Luckily I discovered your program and opted for the fee trial. Eureka! It works on a 2g connection and I now talk to family and friends. I thank you very much . A very grateful Dave. “Dave Elliott, New Zealand

“I have to write to tell you this! I purchased your SpeedConnect Internet Accelerator last night and I have been running tests all day at different test sites! This software is the ultimate accelerator, nothing I have previously tried out even comes close to yours! I have 5 MB ADSL pppoe Lan and the best I have ever got speed wise is 700 KB’s download! Today on all the tests I did I was getting an average of 825 KB’s that is an 18% improvement in download speed and uploading speed were proportional! To me that is phenomenal! I mentioned this to my IP and he was in awe! That was the best investment in software I have ever made! I am an Advance Computer Applications Analyst and testing of software is my livelihood! Keep up the good work on your product, but truthfully I can’t see how it could be improved upon, it is hard to improve on perfection!! “Carl N Ells , Canada

Speed

DSL and cable modems are fast, much faster than dialup modems, if you havn’t used the internet over a DSL or cable line before, then they are faster than you’ve imagined them to be.. but are they as fast as the ISP or Telco is telling you they are?

How are broadband lines sold?

DSL lines, following the tradition of 56k and previous modems, are sold in kilobits per second. They are sold by naming two speed quantities.. download speed and upload speed. The ISP will put more emphasis on download speed, sometimes not even mentioning upload speed at all as if that side of the equation is inconsequential to you, when in fact, upload speed can be a critical part of the performance puzzle.

Before you invest in system software, wouldn’t you like to know exactly how it would improve your system-or in other words, how much can system software really speed up PC performance?

I posed this question to Peter Rauholt, the Product Marketing Manager for VCOM. He said that it’s not possible to pin down improvement statistics relevant to all PCs since every PC is configured and used differently. But he did say that major performance gains come from defragging your hard drive :

“This gain will vary from nothing (on an already defragged drive) to a significant improvement,” said Rauholt, “unfortunately, there are so many variables it’s hard to quantify a general improvement.”
