How to speed up your XP

If you feel that your XP system is too slow, you may think of downloading Windows XP and then reloading it. But it doesn't have to be such a hassle. By optimizing the registry and driving, you can also speed up your XP system and bid farewell to snail speed. Below, the system House will detail the specific method.

Registry optimization Scenario:

1. Enable CPU L2 CAHCE

Under Registry hkcu_local_machinesystemcurrentcontrolsetcontrolsession managermemory Management, create a new DWORD value:

Secondleveldatacache, modify this value to the size of your CPU's level two cache, and use the 10 value when filling in. You can change the CPU 2 level cache to 256KB by modifying the DWORD value "Secondleveldatacache", then restart the computer.

2, modify the disk cache Acceleration XP

Disk caching plays a critical role in running XP, but the default I/O paging file is more conservative. Therefore, for different memory, the use of different disk caching is a better practice.

To the registry hkey_local_machinesystemcurrentcontrolsetcontrolsession Managermemory Managementiopagelocklimit, Modify its hexadecimal value (64m:1000;128m:4000;256m:10000;512m or greater: 40000) according to your memory.

3, remove the menu delay

Removing the delay from sliding out of the menu can speed up XP to some extent. The key value to be modified is Hkey_current_usercontrol paneldesktop. Specifically to modify the key named "Menushowdelay", just change the value to 0. Of course, the changes will not take effect until you restart the computer.

4. Specify Process Order

Press Control+alt+delete three keys at the same time, and then click the "Processes" tab to see a dialog box where you can see all the processes that are currently running. If you want to assign more process time to a program, such as 3D Studio Max, just right-click the process, move the mouse pointer down to set priority>, and then select which priority you want the program to be in. When I receive an email, I will set the 3DMAX to "standard", but when I leave the computer, I will elevate its priority to the highest "real time", so that the computer can focus more quickly on processing 3D actions.

5. Remove reserved bandwidth from Windows XP Professional Edition

Due to the need of Professional Edition on the network, so set a 20% of the default reserved bandwidth, in fact, for individual users, these reserved bandwidth is useless, using the Group Policy Editor can cancel the retention of bandwidth.

In Start → run, enter gpedit.msc to open the Group Policy Editor. Find "Computer Configuration" → "Administrative Templates" → "Network" → "QoS Packet Scheduler", select "limit to retain bandwidth to the right", select "Properties" to open the picture, select "Disable" can be. This is very useful for users who use the modem--freeing up the bandwidth that is reserved to speed up browsing and downloading!

6. Windows XP does not check scheduled tasks

Normally, when Windows XP is connected to another computer, it will check all scheduled tasks on the other side of the machine, and this process will keep you waiting for 30 seconds, which is really annoying. Let's get this process out of the way: Find in the registry

Hkey_local_machinesoftwaremicrosoftwindowscurrentversionexplorerremotecomputernamespace. In this case, there should be a key. Just delete it, restart the computer, Windows will no longer check the scheduled task, the speed is significantly improved!

Optimization scheme for driver:

1, if the Intel 8XX chipset, be sure to install the Intel Application Accelerator, after installation system optimization is obvious. This item can be downloaded to the Intel official website.

2. If a non-Intel chipset is a motherboard, it is essential to install the appropriate patch, such as via the 4in1 program, and so on.

3, try to use the WHL certified driver. This driver is certified by the Microsoft Hardware Lab and has great advantages in stability and compatibility.

For some ordinary XP users, the registry and drive may be more advanced things, it does not matter, as long as you follow the system of the home tutorial, step by step followed, and soon you will become a computer master.
