kurt476 Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 hmmm very intersting how you guy's managed to put it too some much. i just wish there was a os that will automatic free up memory when needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegis Posted June 14, 2005 Author Share Posted June 14, 2005 Windows already does a good job of freeing up memory. All of the "memory freeing" and "defragmenting" tools out there are really just a bunch of bull. They hinder performance instead of increasing it.

EchoNoise Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 (edited) Even though I'm a CarPC modder, I've removed all the crap from windows and the redundant entries in the registry to get my windows nice and well... small Lookies Oh and btw, I only run Winamp as my shell, nothing else, as thats all I need to make my CarPC function Edited June 15, 2005 by undeadsoldier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tashammer Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 It is possible to reduce Windows XP install to zero, by simply installing another operating system you know.(he tries to keep a straight face, then starts to laugh...oops)sighTomPS. I am trying all these suggestions (yer, even the other os), just because i love fiddling - if it aint broke, then you have done something wrong!)

Plus the fact that you said make XP to zero by installing another OS... it isn't quite XP then is it !!!

Clint Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Yup, from my experience 2003 draws some 10mb more in commit when idle...but, far more effective when using memoryresources.When I compare my ripped sersion of XP with 2003, XP comes out on top when it comes to "snappy performance"..but allways looses when moving files and other memoryintense activities.Kinda lost interest in pokin' in my 2003 experiment after a while, also now when the x64's is rollin out it's the same stuff "under the hood" on both XP and 2003....so the gain of using 2003 is in a performance point of view is not that obvious anymore But still my Celeron 400 laptop with 128mb runs smoother on 2003 than XP ..haven't plugged my last whopper-XP in though, no CD or floppy makes it kinda complicated to plug in a modified OS (uses RIS/PXE for install)just my 2 cents..

dirtwarrior Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Hats to Aeqis and the rest of the testers I just wish my knowledge of windows was greater so I could be a tester. You guys are on the verge of something great. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
