Test NEW PC speed before and after removing junk and trials?

[xboxhaxorz]

I just bought a brand new notebook pc, i usually build my desktops but cannot build a notebook. Thus i have quite a bit of junk files and such on my machine. I know the benefit of getting free space and have less startup items. But i would prefer to know how much other benefit and actually how much free space or at least know how much faster my machine is without the junk.

I suppose i would need a benchmarking proggy am i not right?

Could i be reccomended some worthy proggies?

Quite honestly, when i buy a notebook, i format the entire system and install windows only and then install all other applications i find worthy

a friend of mine has almost the same exact sytem that i do, but he uses a normal version of xp pro, mine is nlited. my boot is ~ 4x faster than his is and mine is mich more responsive.

The purpose for this change in my system is to ensure i have the specific software i need, any other junk prgrams that may be installed can also be running in the back group thous taking valbueable resources.

ya i was thinking of nliting it as my desktop is. but it has all the toshiba stuff for the touchpad and everything, i suppose i could just find it online or such.

i do plan to nlite eventually but in the meantime i would prefer to have a test to find out how much faster it actually is without that crap. can i have some reccomendations for sw to test?

4x faster, thats wonderful. i am still experimenting with nlite myself but its hard cause sometimes i get applications errors and wireless stops working but its a process i must go through i suppose.

It's mostly a user-experience improvement, it just "feels" better somehow.

maybe try out eversest and benchmark your stuff. or pcmark
