If you want to optimize windows and master every part of it, get a copy of the Win2k Resource Kit Documentation. it is a comprehensive technical resource, remember you'll have to use the Registry, you'll know and understand how to tweak your windows and know more about windows in no time,
windows contains so many different settings and customizations that it simply wasn't possible for MS to build a graphical interface for every conceivable possibility. and there are many times when it's easier and you get more options when you edit the Registry rather than using the graphical windows interface. In fact, whenever you change a setting using the GUI,
behind the scenes a Registry change is made that puts that new setting into effect. the menus and dialog boxes you see in windows are just a visual front-end to the Registry.

Yea, same as the DOS commands it's doing behind a the scenes. How much does win2k use at boot for you guys? Mines around 60-70mbs. But they're still a few things I'm sure I can disable to free up a few more megs.

You be lucky to get less than that. That is actually a very good number.

Yea well I was the tweak masta at win98. I had what, 10-20 second boot times? It's slower now since it's on my 10gb tho... Hmm, what do you think is causing the 100 point drop in 3dmark (compared to 98) with win2k and do you think I can get it back?

Hey how do I make my games auto get Max priority? Or will that effect it much? And what's the difference betweek high and realtime priority?

zerodamage · Nov 23, 2003, 05:52 PM

Those 100 points in 3dmark mean nothing in the real gaming world.

Max Powerz · Nov 23, 2003, 05:54 PM

Yea but 5k sounds so much cooler then 4.9k
