I have a
P4 2.4 800 FSB
1 Gig dual channel DDR 400 ra
the rest is left over stuff from an old p
Running XP Pro

My question is about tweaking XP. This is a game machine only. I have read many tweak guides, but I'm unsure of how reliable the info is. Is there a tweaking guide written by some at Microsoft for gaming machines? I'd like to know what services I can turn off, ect..

If you know a good guide that you've followed and it didn't screw things up please post a link
Thank
 
Hi SWorks,

This question has been asked a few times recently. I'm going
to test some of the tweaks out on my own system since I have
images to recover from any disaster within 5 minutes, and post
the settings that improve my framerates. Tweaking is not really
recommended though, as you can do more harm than good.

At least Black Vipers site provides instructions on how to setup
a multiple XP Services Profiles so you can revert back to the
original XP services configuration should something go wrong,
or if you get unexplainable errors, like all these folks who weren't
able to install DirectX because they turned of the Cryptographic
Service causing failed to pass Logo Testing errors.

Here's how to setup multiple Services Profiles:

Here's a list of Services, what they do and their importance:

Proceed with caution and at your own risk..
