These days, all i have is an old omnibook 900. Config
-p3, 300 Mhz
-ram-128 mb,
-shared video memory
-other bad things
I am on win xp(please don't ask me to change, i can't), i've tried to optimise it but to very little avail, i am now in desperate need of really good speed tweaks.
Thanks in Advance
I've been running Windows XP on a PII 266 MHz machine with 96 MB RAM for sum years now. I surf net on it and watch sum AVI clips too 8)
Here are my settings
- In performance tab in system properties choose "Adjust for best performance"
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Delete everything here.
-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Delete everything here apart from the drivers
- If ur comp is not on high risk than disable the antivirus softwares to save memory. (I perform a sys check weekly but autoprotect in NAV is off)
- Disable all unused services in Registry. Type services.msc in Run. Check this out for help!!!

- Make sure that ur page file is on a separate partition. If not than do it!
- Preferably install all softwares to a separate partition to avoid fragmentation in ur Windows partition
- Defrag ur HD.
- Frequently clear History, Recent documents and Temporary Internet files. Also make sure that u've cleared "Local settings\Temp"
