CyberPower PC. - Custom Built Gaming PC and Gaming Laptops. Micro Center | Computer Parts: Build Your Own PC. The Complete Guide to Speeding Up Your PC's Startup. I like to think I run a tight ship. I'm more proactive than reactive I guess.... -msconfig (keep an eye on the startup tab) -ccleaner (usually in auto mode) -regedit occasionally (to make sure nothing's been added to startupreg, winlogon etc that I wasn't aware of -sometimes Autoruns -Revo for a more complete mopping up than uninstallers alone can provide -regseeker -ERUNT — before even touching the Registry -occasionally look in on boot.ini, check the timeout...

-hijackthis -a hosts file, e.g. the one at MVPs -Firefox with noscript (both kept updated -keep clear of IE as much as possible -use Clam and AVG for av scans ... -sometimes this helps with bootup time (but not always) Rundll32.exe advapi32.dll,ProcessIdleTasks I usually run it from a bat file or from the Run box -tweakui, just to make sure my custom settings haven't been f*ed up without my permission That's about it. The Ultimate Intel Core i7 Memory Performance Guide. Today we are going to look at how various memory frequencies, timings, and configurations influence the memory bandwidth and the real-world performance of Core i7 processors. This is particularly important to not only help you get the most out of your Core i7 CPU, but to potentially save you a lot of money.

After all, it is possible to configure a Core i7 processor with triple-channel memory operating at 1066, 1333 and 1600MHz, or even faster. But what are the benefits of using more aggressively clocked memory? In the past, when testing the Core 2 family of processors, we found that spending more money on high-speed DDR2 and DDR3 memory was a real waste of money, since the processor was unable to take benefit from the added bandwidth. Whereas previous Intel processors such as the Core 2, Pentium D, Pentium 4, and so on, relied on the Front Side Bus (FSB) to access RAM, the new Core i7 processors do not. This is the reason at large why DDR3 has failed to get off the ground.

Tutorials: Real world Windows 7 SSD tweaks and optimization - Overclock.net - Overclocking.net. It has been asked what other little things can be done to squeeze a litle more performance from Windows 7 on our SSD drives... One thing that helps maintain performance on an SSD is the percentage of free space available to the SSD controller to execute 'wear leveling'. Basically, spreading out the load to the least used empty memory cells. In order to do this, we need to fool Windows and other programs into looking elsewhere for stuff that is necessary, but rarely used and taking up a lot of disk space. This part is only useful IF you have your operating system on your SSD AND it is formatted as NTFS and have a second drive available (NTFS) with space free to use. What we are going to do is move certain directories to the other drive, then make Windows (and the programs) think it is still on the boot drive. For the tutorial, we are going to assume that the SSD is C: and the second drive is E:. ).

Undoing the junction is easy too, if you want to. How to: Setup SSD boot drive with secondary Hard disc optimization - Overclock.net - Overclocking.net. OCN Thread of the month - June 2011 "AppData" folder can get huge, and because this is one of the most active folders this is the best folder to move to ensure less random use of the SSD to help it extends its life. quantum tunneling is the achilles heel of SSD technology and why it has a expiration date based on hours used. in other words you can only punch so many holes in silicone. so, moving the "AppData" folder would be the biggest optimization a user can do with Windows on a SSD.

Im pretty sure we all knew how to right click on the none hidden folders in the "users" folder far before this guide was ever produced, so please stay on topic. The entire "Users" folder CANNOT be moved with a right click in properties, and that includes the "AppData" (temp internet folder, etc). The point of this to have a primary SSD and secondary hard disc to hold all the big info. benefiting from the fast seek times a SSD has to offer. Quote: install SSD.
