Can someone here review my registry settings?

[Sgt_Strider]

Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone here is able to spend a little time and take a look at my registry settings and tell me if there are any redundant entries? Also can someone help me organize the settings? Thx

surely you can do that yourself?

by the way, check your setting for

"SecondLevelDataCache"=dword:200

it depends what processor you have... the "200" setting equals 512k processor cache (as in P4C processors) if you have an Athlon XP it has to be set to "100" for 256k cache or if you have an Athlon64 with 1MB cache set it to "400"... but it doesn't make any difference anyway

[Alanoll]

please also remember to use CODE tags when posting files like that.

Yes, I do have a Pentium 4 Northwood processor.

Sorry Alanoll, I will fix it in a bit.

[Alanoll]

don't worry, it's just a little reminder for future posts. I already changed it. It's all good. It's just made to make the board look all perty and all clearly shows what's code and what isn't. Not to say youre dash's didn't do that, but gotta admit, the white box does it abit more

[[BM]Crusher]

then you had it correct already i forgive you

but seriously, I have not found that tweak to make a licking difference... i've been using that tweak since 2K came out, but through benchmarking different applications (like sysmark and content creation winstone etc...) i have found it to make zero difference...
