[grafx1]

there is a tweak for LargeSystemCache and DisablePagingExecutive for XP but from what i'd read at MS site, they are for servers !!

anyone know if i can enable those settings for Vista, and what's the benefit of them ?

Thank you.

Vista is just SO different from XP that many of our favorite tweaks for XP will NOT work for Vista.

One that still works is (actually its three tweaks in one script) :

*************************************************

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control]

"WaitToKillServiceTimeout"="1000"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management]

"DisablePagingExecutive"="1"

"LargeSystemCache"="1"

*************************************************

I use these on every new Vista system that I set up and I've seen no downside ..... yet.

Then there's one for disabling UAC.....which could be added to the one above for easier installation.

For a lot less hassle, this should be done when setting up any new Vista system.

*************************************************

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]

"EnableLUA"=dword:00000000

*************************************************

Sorry, I can't give you the full rundown on what every tweak does and how, but I know they DO increase system performance.....that's good enough for me.

You can also find several locations on the internet where "Tweaking Vista" is discussed.

Good Luck and happy computing!
