Hey, just got Win2000, and just curious to see what people favorite tips are. I play mostly games, and use a Radeon. So if there are any speed tweaks, for the system in general, or for my Radeon send them this way!

I already got DX8, and Win2000 drivers. I also found out there is no 'msconfig', so I went into my reg and took out what I didnt want to start. Enabled DMA on my disk drives.

One more thing. I use Powerstrip, and curious as to why I cannot over clock my engine clock, but I can my memory clock for my video card. Whats up with that? I have the latest Powerstrip, and when I boot into ME, I can adjust either.

Lemme know!

since im a male chavinist i wont answer this ;P

I forgot how to get into my reg and edit what I want to start, and I cant find the link where I got it from... someone refresh my memory!

Go here:

and get the "Startup Control Panel" applet. It works quite well.

A very easy tip:

In display properities uncheck use
transition affects and tool tips.

Then with a registry editor (try reglite)
go to and click on:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop|MenuShowDelay

and change the value from 400 to 0

click ok and exit should notice an
improvement in menu speed.

Try disabling all the performance counters, it helps a lot...
Turn Diskpref Off:

By default, Win2k is set to collect physical drive data.
As home users we don't need this.

To disable the disk performance counters:
Start
Programs
Command Prompt
diskperf -n
Also use the miscrosoft file exctrlst run it and shut down all performance counters....I have included the file for you...

If you ever want to return to default:
diskperf -yd

the file exctrlst.exe can be found here...
