that key was already set on this machine; can't say I ever noticed a "major" performance boost

That's just one of the tricks you can use to add a little extra "oomph" to XP. Things like disabling unnecessary services and cutting back on the eye candy also add a little bit more.

Does that work as well with Win2k?


I thought I heard that MHz being important on the A64 also has to do that the higher frequency tightens the timings of the memcontroller (all timings). So if you haven't maxed out the memory with A64 tweaker there is an additional boost.

I tweaked my Workstation's XP with this guide about a year ago: http://www.tweakhound.com/xp/xptweaks/supertweaks1.htm

JMKE,
Got a curve ball for you. I remember reading the article that showed that using a single stick of ram in SKT 754 rigs allowed for higher OCs than 2 sticks and since max mhz seems to be the key to performance, I was wondering if you'd run your bandwidth tests using 1 stick on a 939 rig and then compare the real world tests. I've got the sneaking sensation that you'd be able to get a higher HTT using one stick on the 939 rig and that would in turn allow for better performance since it would boost the total max mhz you could OC a PC to. If I'm wrong in my logic, please let me know and thanks.

you need about 150 mhz more to beat Dual Channel.

Its called "robbing Peter to pay Paul"; yes Paul is the bastard, but Peter remains wealthy after being robbed in this case.
