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.

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.

Hi,
first of all, as I’m a French guy, sorry for my English. Well, here’s my own experience.

I got a Delkin Devices adapter, labeled DDCFCARBUS-AD BAK on device and DDCFCARDBUS2-AD on package. It is not black but silver colored. An american guy mentionned same reference for his own adapter in a product comment on Amazon.com. When I received it from USA, I believed it was a fake because of these strange reference differences on product and package and because of silver color. But tests made me sure I had got a genuine Cardbus 32 UDMA CF adapter from Delkin Devices!

For my tests, I used a Kingston Ultimate 2 CF card, 4GB size and 266X speed,which is certified to be UDMA 3, 4 and 5 modes compatible. I did not take particular cautions to put the adapter to the test: my old laptop Dell Latitude D510 (Pentium-M 1,73GHz with 2GB RAM) was running 92 processes. Antivirus, firewall and Web proxy were up, along with Outlook, IE and much more applications, using 1400MB of 2039MB RAM. Sometimes my CPU was working at 100%, because of periodic Exchange synchronisation or IE surfing during the tests!
