RE: Make you windows xp faster than ever before
They really won't increase speed that much - trust me, I was running XP on a 533MHz computer, and I've tweaked the hell out of it.
The main things you need to do: - nLite your installation
- Disable basically all startup items (yes, the average person does NOT need many at all)
- Disable unnecessary services - use a guide like this
- Disable theming, including the Themes service
- Don't install unnecessary programs, especially ones that bloat up your system like RealPlayer
- Disable indexing service (and Windows Search for Vista) - learn to find where your files are, and become efficient at retrieving them
^ They would be the main sources of slowdowns on the average computer. And I've seen many average computers to know... :P

RE: Make you windows xp faster than ever before
I've tried so many of these guides on my comp... I think they work pretty well once you try a couple. Here are a couple of my specs:
Windows XP SP3 (That one that was just released in Tech News, not full)
Made by Compaq
390mhz
198MB RAM
2 hard drives: One is about 7gb and the other is about 2gb.
No internet connection.
It probably worked well for me since I can disable all internet related services. :yipi:
edit: I also found a .pdf file with tweaks through torrents ( O_O ) if anyone wants me to upload that. Most of it was said in this guide.

RE: Make you windows xp faster than ever before
I think it works. Would probably be more noticeable on a faster comp than mine. See 2 posts above yours for my comp.
