Oh I'm so down. I still play zombie escape sometimes on CS:S. Never gets old. So down for Office.

Also 15 years for me. Fuck man we are getting old as shit.

Also, loving Back 4 Blood. Highly recommend to everyone who enjoys coop zombie action. I play on steam. gLiTch handle was retired with FT. You can find me as theRemedy on Steam friends.

Super down for a rerun. I think we all have some old connections to plan something ahead of time, on an updated game, or even outdated, for all of us to do an event on. I would look forward to that very much

 I have an HP Pavilion a362n...

3.00 GHz
2.00 GB of RAM (i upgraded it some)

I already am using your "paging file" tip... is there anything else i can do with my ram that will speed this thing up?

Oh by the way is it possible to have two video cards? Edited Fri Oct 06 2006, 02:40AM

 Aks, 2 GB of memory actually makes a huge difference when it comes to multi-tasking, loading up, switching between programs, etc.

Nostie, 2 GPUs is possible through SLI or Crossfire technology. SLI = Scalable Link Interface, it's the Nvidia dual video card, and Crossfire is the ATI dual video card.

Unfortunately, you'll need a special SLI or Crossfire mobo to run it, and I doubt an HP pavilion would have one.

So yes, the technology does exist. Will you be able to take advantage of it with your current setup? Probably not.

 i also have 2gb of ram, and i also ahve a dual core amd.

i also have a raptor, and i also have a fancy cooling setup, and i also ahve a razer copperhead mouse.

do these things matter much? yes

do they matter enough to buy them? depends what your upgrading from my old pc was soo fucking old and shitty that i just wanted to best and not have to tweak everything just so it will run.

there are tons of optimizations however i dont feel like posting about 11 pages onto here, you can xfire me or use google. but there are lOADS OF OPTIMIZATIONs

also list complete specs and not just your ram ammount

 I recommend a few things for you nostie:

My article about XP performance tweaking: -[link]-

My article about XP services: -[link]-

Also, I recommend removing ALL programs and windows features you dont use. The guides above improve performance a noticeable amount for computers wiht 1GB or more ram.

Happy tweaking!

 Thanks kremit (and others)

I finished your tweaking guides and I was wondering if you knew any other tricks that specifically incresed RAM usage for better speed?

Thanks again
