How to optimize Windows Xp. yes this is the question, i whould say i know my way around windows, and how to get the most out of it ( not Reg tweaking though ).
But efter optimizing windows, defragging, optimizing and repairing Reg DBase, disabling unused and unwanted Services and killed all the current adware and viras ( my virus proggy aint running in the background ). My windows is still sometimes, very slow responsive. I whould say that an 2600+ Athlon Xp, should be able to open internet explorer without too much, delay when system Idle CPU usage is at 99%, and 40 currently running processes, my HDD can ( pr sandra deliver 40 - 70 MB/s ).
but this is not the case, the only time i get fast respone is after a fresh reinstall. and i know windows gets slow ass when alot of stuff are installed.
ive searched the net, and found alot of site that promise to give u XXX % more preformance out of windows.
Now that i dont want to reinstall my windows every time, it get slow ( cos i whould install everything i have again, and the result whould be the same ). im asking ppl to give thier opinion on how to optimize windows. cos my beleve is that the must be a way, a combination of optimizing software, that can "clear" up windows.
System specs :
Athlon Xp 2600Xp 333Mhz
1GB 333Mhz RAM
Radeon 9800 Pro 128.
Soundblaster audigy 2 ZS
promise fasttrack 4000 Raid controler
2x IBM 80GB in RAID 0 config
2x Maxtor 80GB in RAID 0 config ( contaning the OS )
NEC DVD RW +-
Optimizing software ive used:
Norton system works 2005
Norton AV enterprise 9.0
Registry mechanic
Diskkeeper pro
Hare
but it could be cool if ppl could tell me what programs they use to optimize and/or give me any suggestions what whould be a good thing to use
Ps. sry for the bad gramma
