xboxhaxorz Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 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?

Shindo_Hikaru Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shindo_Hikaru Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 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.

xboxhaxorz Posted July 27, 2006 Author Share Posted July 27, 2006 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.

LLXX Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 It's mostly a user-experience improvement, it just "feels" better somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
