    This is for Windows XP Pro based systems (IE: XP Pro SP1, XP Pro SP2, MCE 2003 SP1, MCE 2003 SP2, and MCE 2005 SP2 OS's). If you are running Home, you can try it, but I don't think it works with Home Editions.

    Okay guys, I have been messing around with Windows' settings once again and I have found something to make your internet browsing faster (ANY BROWSER SO FAR). Okay, this is the tut guys:

    1. Go to your Start Menu (or alt+ctrl+del) and go to Run...

    2. When you are in Run... type in "GPEDIT.MSC"

    3. When you are in GPEDIT, under "COMPUTER CONFIGURATION", Expand "Administrative Templates", Expand "Network", and click on "QoS Packet Scheduler".

    [​IMG]

    4. Right click on "Limit Reservable Bandwidth" and go to "Properties".

    [​IMG]

    5. Set it to "Enable" and put the Percentage (%) at or below 10%. Then hit Apply, restart your browser, and then it should be sped up a bit.

    NOTE: If you don't see improvements at 10%, drop it more. If you don't see improvements past that, then you could always just set it back to defaults, which I have posted up there. ;)
