I dunno, the idea of having to go through so many registry entries to get a few seconds of boot time off, or faster performance at the risk of having everything go FUBAR on you doesn't appeal to me.
I mean, my system is pretty fast as it is, I'm quite happy with it. No rush to go anywhere with a 2.66 @ 3ghz CPU.. =)

Those bios tips are worth the price of admission though! I hate not knowing anything about the settings for memory and such. It seems bios settings have become more complicated over the years, while less and less is known about them.

I will not overclock my ram though. These ram sticks are worth more than my CPU >.>

thanks for the post Buli. These are great tips and I've saved the site to my favorites for future use. I've already reduced my restore point space and completed a full scan disk!

But that slight increase could be the difference between winning and pretending you didn't lose.
