NOTE: I said with 2+gb RAM remove it all together, if you get any blue screens (of death!!!) after that just put it back to a set amount, or system managed.

 

I knew that already. Nice though.

Did you know that you can go to the registry editer and create more than one paging file on one drive. You can make as many as you want also.
Like this



so know I have 6000



I could get as much as I wanted. Like 20000

 

yea but isnt too much bad anyway?

 

Probably because then it takes memory for the system to retreive that data. But it would work for a system with like 256.

I have 256 and by doing a lot of tweaking and doing that I can run Half life 2 and css without lag. I have to use these startup options though.

-dxlevel 70 -w 800 +r_rootlod 2 - +mat_picmip 2 - +mat_reducefillrate 1 - +r_waterforceexpensive 0 - +r_shadowrendertotexture 1 - +mat_colorcorrection # 0 - +mat_trilinear 0 - +mat_hdr_level 0 -novideo -heapsize 256000 +map_background none

Basically that is setting everything on low

also disabling backgorund services help that use up RAM.
and virus scanners and syware check stuff and less intensive screensavers.

 

Yea I went thru that services thing, twice on this computer. i saved a log for second time tho cuz it was post-reformat

 

whoa...mine was already set like you said in the video, and I hadnt touched it before

 

doesn't really speed up computer, but clears some space...

go to Start > Run then type "%temp%" and delete all the files in there.

and go to My Computer, right click on Local Disk and then click "Disk Cleanup" and make sure Temporary Internet Files" is checked.

 

and you can go to "start>run>msconfig and services tab and disabel stuff

this helps also

Start>run> type" %SystemRoot%\system32\services.msc /s "

and disable services from there

 

thanks, I didn't know that...any chance you know if I disable StyleXPService from running, if it will make my style not load when I start up?

 

I don't know it's not in my service list. What does the description say on the left?

 

nothing

 

Check this out for services:

and this has lots of services for an extra opinion/explaination:

still can't find anything...was looking at something aon google and it says it is okay. so I am not gonna bother with it.

 

I have read both of those and used them. I have read so many things because i have 256 RAM and speeding my PC is something i need to do. I think with all the stuff I have done it's basically like a 756 RAM PC now. After u do that something that helps give more ram is like a RAM freeing program. There are a ton out there.

Cant you just save up some cash and get a cheap 512mb stick?
those are less than 50 bucks..
1gb < $70 minumum
256mb < $25

it sounds like ya need more ram..
