GREATLY INCREASE YOUR VIRTUAL RAM

This makes your computer faster by using part of your HD space as virtual RAM. ( Takes around a
gigabyte of space,when initialized. but still speeds up your computer greatly!)

If your HD has less than 20GB of free space left then don't do this.

Alright, this is how you do it:

Instructions:
1. Right Click on "My Computer" icon and select "Properties".
2. Click on the Advanced tab.
3. Under Performance, click Settings.
4. Then click the Advanced tab on the button that pops up.
5. Under Virtual Memory at the bottom, click Change.
6. Click the Custom Size button.
7. For the initial size (depending on your HD space), type in anywhere from 1000-1500 (although i use
4000), and for the Maximum size type in anywhere from 2000-2500 (although i use 6000).

8. Click Set, and then exit out of all of the Windows.

9. Finally, restart your computer.
10. You now have a faster computer and 1-2gb of virtual RAM!
I did this personally and it worked great for me.

MAKE YOUR PROCESSOR FASTER..

this trick work with AMD and Intel

first go to start and then Run

and go to regedit

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Session Manager\Memory Management

in the right side you will see SecondLevelDataCache clik modifier and change it to .....

writ 256 if your processeur is

Intel pentium 3 E
Pentium 4
AMD k6-3
AMD Thunderbird
Cyrix 3
Pentium 2 Mobile

writ 64 if your processeur

AMD Duron

writ 512 if your processeur is

AMD K6-2
Pentium 2
Pentium 3 Katmai
AMD Athlon

writ 1024 if your processeur is :

Pentium 2 Xeon
Pentium 3 Xeon
and 128 for processeur
Pentium Celeron
Pentium Celeron 2

THIS IS FOR NEW COMPUTER!

Actually this tweak is completely useless on newer computers, all it does is set the L2 cache size. Here's
a better explanation of it:

Myth - "Adjusting the SecondLevelDataCache Registry value to match your CPU's L2 Cache size will
improve performance."

Reality - "If you do not set this registry value, Windows will use the HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) for
retrieval of the L2 cache size automatically on boot up. If this fails, a default value of 256KB is used. This
is where the myth that XP can only use 256KB of L2 cache comes from. But it's false. The
SecondLevelDataCache is designed as a secondary source of cache size information for computers on
which the HAL cannot detect the L2 cache. The HAL is able to retrieve the L2 cache size from any CPU
using the set-associative cache design (Pentium II or newer), it's only the relatively few older processors
with direct-mapped L2 caches that the HAL will not recognize. This tweak only applies to older
computers (Pentium I or older) with over 64MB of memory. On these older systems, this tweak can
improve performance by about 0.4%. Pentium II and later CPUs are not affected."

==================================================

Open Regedit by clicking Start>Run and type in regedit.

Once Regedit is open, click the plus symbol next to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER folder, the plus symbol
next to Control Panel, and then click the Desktop folder icon to display its contents. In the right pane,
double-click MenuShowDelay to change its value. (This Registry location is referred to as
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\CONTROL\PANEL\DESKTOP\MENUSHOWDE LAY.) The default Value Data is 400,
or 4/10 of a second. Change the Value Data to 0 for the least delay, and click OK. This will make menus
appear instantly on your computer instead of having a delay.

================================================== ==

Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\CONTRO L\FILESYSTEM. Right-click

Filesystem, select New, and DWORD Value. Rename NewValue#1 on the right-side pane to
DisableNTFSLast-AccessUpdate. Double-click this new entry, change the Value Data field from 0 to 1,
and then click OK. This disables the constant updating of the dates when a file or folder were last
updated. This will speed up the system.

================================================== ==
Open HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRE NTVERSION\EXPLORER. Create
a new DWORD Value called DesktopProcess, and set its Value Data to 1.
Expand HKEY_CURRENT_USER, expand Control Panel, and click Desktop. Double-click the AutoEndTasks
string and change the value to 1. This causes all of the components of the explorer to run in one process,
making your computer faster.
There is a caveat for some users here. Do not make this change if you are not running at least a Pentium
processor and 16 MB of physical memory.

================================================== ==

Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, expand SOFTWARE, expand Microsoft, expand Windows, and expand
CurrentVersion. Right-click Explorer, expand New, click Key, and name the new key AlwaysUnloadDLL.
Click AlwaysUnloadDLL, double-click the Default string, and change the value to 1. Windows tries to
keep some DLL's in memory when the program uses them. If a user has low memory, this can cause
performance issues.

================================================== =

Expand HKEY_CURRENT_USER, expand Control Panel, and click Desktop. Double-click the
HungAppTimeout string and change the value to 1000. Now, double-click the WaitToKillAppTimeout,
string and change the value to 2000. This sets your system up to more efficiently handle application
hangups. It also will optimize the amount of time a system takes to close a program when you try to end
Windows.

================================================== =

Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, expand System, expand CurrentControlSet, and click Control. Double-
click the WaitToKillServiceTimeout string and change the value to 2000. This optimizes the time that it
will take for Windows Services to close when the system is set to shut down.

================================================== ==

Expand HKEY_CURRENT_USER, expand Control Panel, click Desktop, and double-click the
MenuShowDelay string in the right-hand pane. Change the value to 100. This will cause Desktop menus
to appear almost instantly.
Close regedit.

================================================== ==

Set Recycle Bin to 1-3 percent of the hard drive space. To do this, right click on the Recycle Bin. Select
properties. Move the slider down to the desired amount and click Ok. By default, the Recycle bin takes
up too much of your space.
