WindowsXP Optimized Hardware Setup Raiders

Is the computer running too slowly? Do you know which hardware can be optimized, which can help you increase your computer speed.
Motherboard failure

Steps/methods

Turn off unused devices in the device manager, PCMCIA card, modem, infrared device, printer port (LPT1) or serial port (COM1) If the device that is not commonly used is deactivated, select “Do not use this device (disable) in the “General” tab in the Device Properties dialog box. Enable these devices from the device manager when they need to be used.


Monitor Maintenance
Memory Performance Optimization There are several options in Windows XP to optimize memory performance. They are all located in the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Session Manager\\Memory Management 1 Disabling Paging Executive XP will write in-memory fragments to the hard disk. We can prevent it from doing so and keep the data in memory, thus improving system performance. This setting is only used for 256M or more memory. Changing the value of "DisablePagingExecutive" from 0 to 1 disables memory paging. 2) Upgrade the system cache You must have more than 256M of memory to activate it. Change the LargeSystemCache key value from 0 to 1. In general, this optimization will improve the performance of the system, but it may also degrade some applications. 3) Input/Output Performance If the memory is larger than 256M, the value is changed. This optimization is only meaningful for the server user. It can improve the performance of the system for large-capacity file transfer. Create a DWORD (double-byte value) key value, named IOPageLockLimit, the value between 8M-16M bytes between the best performance, specifically set what value, you can try which value to get the best performance. This value is calculated in bytes. For example, if you want to allocate 12M, it is 12× 1024× 1024, which is 12582912.

boot drive /drive DMA mode & ldquo; System Properties & rdquo; - & ldquo; hardware & rdquo; - & ldquo; device manager & rdquo ;, select & ldquo in the device list; IDE ATA /ATAPI controller & rdquo ;, Double- “Main IDE channel” or “minor IDE channel”, check whether the DMA mode is enabled in the “Advanced Settings” tab of its properties dialog box. Generally, if the device supports it, the system will automatically Turn on the DMA function. If it is not turned on, set "Transfer mode" to "ld_;DMA (if available)" (it should also be set to support DMA in the BIOS).

turn off autoplay run & ldquo; group policy & rdquo; program, open the Group Policy window in the left sidebar & ldquo; Computer Configuration & rdquo ;, select & ldquo; Administrative Templates & rdquo; in the & ldquo; system & rdquo ;, then In the configuration bar on the right, find "Turn off AutoPlay" and double-click it. The "AutoPlay Properties" dialog box will pop up. In the "Settings" tab, select "ldquo" is enabled", “ ; Turn off autoplay & rdquo; drop down list and select “All drives”.

set secondary cache capacity WindowsXP sometimes can not automatically detect the processor secondary cache capacity, we need to manually set. Run the registry editor, find HKCU_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Session Manager\\Memory Management, select the Dword value SecondLevelDataCache (if you don't create this value), modify this value (fill in decimal) for your CPU The size of the secondary cache, such as your CPU's secondary cache is 256KB, you can modify the Dword value SecondLevelDataCache to 256 decimal. Level 2 cache size introduction AMD series Duron 64KB K6-3 Thunderbird AthlonXP 256KB K6-2 Athlon 512KB; Intel series CeleronA Celeron2 128KB P2 Mobile P3E (EB) P4 Willamette 256KB P2 P3 (katmai) P4 (Northwood) 512KB. Please check with Winxp: Open the registry and find the value of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion "RegDone", from 0 to 1 to complete, this operation is very important, many strange little problems So solve it. Tend to pop up when

IRQ interrupt request priority order row have set up a computer IRQ interrupt. This is to optimize the purpose by modifying the priority of each IRQ request. The main optimization object here is the system CMOS real clock, which improves performance through the motherboard. First, to determine which component you want to get higher performance, then find the IRQ interrupt number that the hardware is using. How to find it? Open the System Properties in the Control Panel, select the <quo;Hardware” tab, then click the <quo;Device Manager” button. Right click on the component to check the IRQ number, select “Properties", and then click on the <quo;Resources" tab. Here you can see the IRQ interrupt number that the device is using (if there is no IRQ interrupt number, select another device). Write down the interrupt number, then run the registry editor Regedit to find the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\System\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\PriorityControl location in the registry. We are going to create a DWORD double-byte value called IRQ#Priority (where “#” is the specific IRQ interrupt number) and set its value to 1. For example, the IRQ interrupt number of my system CMOS real clock is 8, and the key name I want to create is IRQ8Priority. After restarting your computer, you'll notice an improvement in the performance of the components you just optimized. This method is strongly recommended to optimize the system CMOS real clock because it improves the performance of the entire motherboard. Of course, it is also possible to increase the priority of multiple IRQ interrupt numbers, but the effect is not so good, and may cause system instability. To undo this optimization setting, just delete the registry key you just created and it will be OK.
