Tips And Tricks Speed up Windows XP Performance
Tips And Tricks Speed up Windows XP Performance
1. To reduce boot time and improve performance, do not use third-party defrag software, use any artificial device defragmenter (built-in) Windows, will not be much different. And also, you should use a hard drive with Ultra-133 or Serial ATA (SATA) with 8-MB buffer.
2. If the PC's RAM is less than 512 MB, then it should be added capacity. It is relatively inexpensive and will help improve your system performance dramatically.
3. Make sure the file system used by Windows XP is NTFS. How to check:

4. Disable the File Indexing. File Indexing Service extracts information from documents and other files that exist on the hard drive and creates a "searchable keyword index" (index keyword search). You can imagine the process is very burdensome system.
The way it works as follows:
A user searching for a word, phrase, or property inside a document, of the documents by the hundreds or thousands, and he did not know the name of the document sought. Windows XP's built-in search functionality can still perform these kinds of searches without the Indexing Service. But a little longer. Operating systems must be open each file when asked to help find what the user wants.
Most people do not need this search feature. Which usually requires is a large corporate environment where thousands of documents are located on at least one server. However, if a typical system builder, most of your clients are small and medium-sized businesses, and if the client does not need those features, I recommend that mendisfungsikannnya (disable) the service.

If it happens, Windows XP would be a waste of time and slow down the performance of the system, when doing load application or file. Nothing is important in that folder and all its contents are safe to delete. The folder is located at: C: WINDOWS ¥ ¥ ¥ Prefetch
7. Once a month run a disk cleanup.

b. Ensure the Transfer Mode is set to "DMA if Available" for both Device 0 and Device 1.
c. Do the same on the Secondary IDE Channel.
9. Upgrade Wiring.
To increase hard drive technology, the wiring needed to be mendorongperforma more baik.Pastikan to use the cable 80-wire Ultra-133 for all IDE devices and use a socket connector that fits with the Master / Slave / Motherboard.
Device if it is just one, must be at the very end darikabel ribbon (data cable), not on the connectors in the middle of the ribbon cable, if not, there will be a signal problem. In the Ultra DMA hard drives, these signaling problems can prevent hard drive to maximize its potential.
