Boosting up ur CPU really do affects the speed of your internet connection

You may follow these steps:

PLEASE!!! ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR SYSTEM FIRST BEFORE U CHANGE ANYTHING AND USE THE GUIDE AT YOUR OWN RISK, thanks (to do this click start and click RUN then type "regedit" w/o " " the click EXPORT then type a file name or just put regbackup) just in case u messed up, just double click the regbackup file were u saved it.

To Increase System Performance

Right click my computer. Click properties.
Click advanced.
Click settings (under performance).
Click Adjust for best performance.
Scroll to the bottom and check the last one ?use visual styles on windows and buttons?.



These Settings Will Fine Tune Your Systems Memory

You need at least 256MB of ram to do this:

Go to start\run\regedit -and then to the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management

1.DisablePagingExecutive -double click it and in the decimal put a 1 - this allows XP to keep data in memory now instead of paging sections of ram to harddrive yeilds faster performance.

2.LargeSystemCache- double click it and change the decimal to 1 -this allows XP Kernal to Run in memory and improves system performance a lot.

3.Create a new dword and name it IOPageLockLimit - double click it and set the value in hex - 4000 if you have 128MB of ram or set it to 10000 if you have 256MB set it to 40000 if you have more than 512MB of ram -this tweak will speed up your disckcache.

Restart Your PC



Tweak The Swap File (Less Loading)

For Users with 256 MB RAM or more this tweak will boost their Windows- and Game-Performance.
What it does: It tells Windows not to use any Swap File until there is really no more free RAM left.

Open the System Configuration Utility by typing msconfig.exe in the RUN command. There in your System.ini you have to add "ConservativeSwapfileUsage=1" under the 386enh section.

Restart your Windows and enjoy better Game performance




Disable Services

XP Pro runs a lot of services by default that are pointless if your not on a corporate network, the following services are ones that I safely disable thereby freeing up memory but check what each one does first to make sure your not using it for something:

Go to Run and type services.msc, right click on each service, properties and choose disable.

Alerter
Application Management
Automatic Updates
Background Intelligent Transfer
Clipbook
Distributed Link Tracking Client
Distributed Transaction Coordinater
Error Reporting Service
Fast User Switching Compatibility
IMAPI CD-Burning
Indexing Service
IPSEC Services
Messenger
Net Logon
Net Meeting
Remote Desktop Sharing
Network DDE
Network DDE DSDM
Portable Media Serial Number
Remote Desktop Help Session Manager
Remote Registry
Secondary Logon
Smartcard
SSDP Discovery Service
Telnet Themes
Uninterruptible Power Supply
Universal Plug and Play Device Host
Upload Manager
Webclient
Wireless Zero Configuration
WMI Performance Adaptor


Speed Up The File System (I dont think this will work on a FAT 32 File System)

NTFS is a great file system, but its feature-set comes at a slight cost in performance. You can negate this a little with the following tips:

* By default NTFS will automatically update timestamps whenever a directory is traversed. This isn't a necessary feature, and it slows down large volumes. Disable it by going to Run and type regedit:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem and set 'DisableNTFSLastAccessUpdate' to 1.

* NTFS uses disparate master file control tables to store filesystem information about your drives. Over time these core MFT files grow and become fragmented, slowing down all accesses to the drive. By setting aside a little space, MFT's can grow without becoming fragmented.

In the same key where you disabled the last access feature creat a new DWORD value called 'NtfsMftZoneReservation' and set it to 2.



Disable DLL Caching

Windows Explorer caches DLLs (Dynamic-Link Libraries) in memory for a period of time after the application using them has been closed. This can be an inefficient use of memory.

1. Find the key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer].

2. Create a new DWORD sub-key named 'AlwaysUnloadDLL' and set the default value to equal '1' to disable Windows caching the DLL in memory.

3. Restart Windows for the change to take effect.



Tweak The Prefetch

1. Run "Regedit"

2. Goto [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters\EnablePrefetcher]

3. Set the value to either 0-Disable, 1-App launch prefetch, 2-Boot Prefetch, 3-Both ("3" is recommended).

4. Restart Your PC.

It will decrease the boot time but double and increase the performance of your XP.



SpeedUp Your Connection By 20% (Cable/DSL Users Only)

1.Log on as "Administrator".

2. Run - gpedit.msc

3. Expand the "Local Computer Policy" branch.

4. Then expand the "Administrative Templates" branch.

5. Expand the "Network" branch.

6. Highlight the "QoS Packet Scheduler" in left pane.

7. In the right window pane double-click the "Limit Reservable Bandwidth" setting.

8. On the settings tab check the "Enabled" item.

9. Change "Bandwidth limit %" to read 0.

10. Then go to your Network connections Start=>Control Panel>Network & Internet connections>Network Connections and right-click on your connection. Then under the General or the Networking tab, (where it lists your protocols) make sure QoS packet scheduler is enabled.

It may take effect immediately on some systems. To be sure, just Restart Your PC.

Hope everyone finds these useful.

i would like to thank sir HawkKnight for this guide XD
And I would Like To Thank "-Raven-" because this is his thread from RF Boards.

Now For My Comment:
I Tested this guide and It DID boost my Internet connection (by 20%) performance, loading time and booting up. And I got the most performance out of my computer.
I would like to specify yung steps on Tweaking your swap file. Yan tlga ang Pampabilis ng PC nyo. It Will access mostly sa Memory prior to the Hard Disk (which is slower) lalo na at 1.5GB ang memory ko.
Kasi sa normal operation, 50% memory and 50% swapfile(hard disk) ang gnagmit ng system para mag load. This is slower Trust me!

If your system crashes or your OS wont work anymore, chances are u made a mistake or u skip a step. So again! BACKUP YOUR CONFIGURATION (steps mentioned above) and DO THIS GUIDE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Use your 3G Cellphone for Broadband Internet Access

How To: Use your 3G Cellphone for Broadband Internet Access
for everyone


This may be a little outdated to inform you but I think it still is a good share. These instructions will allow you to use your 3G or HSDPA phone to be used as a modem to your PC and connect to the internet with broadband speed! I will be using the Nokia N70 as an example unit with Smart as the network provider, but the steps can be applicable to any 3G-enabled phone and other providers.

Things to accomplish first before connecting:
1. Make sure you have the Access points downloaded to your phone (i.e. Smart Internet, Smart GPRS, Smart MMS, etc.)

2. Have your phone suite installed in your PC

3. Once installed, make sure your cellphone drivers are also present when you plug it in to the USB. It should appear as a "USB Modem" in your device manager.

4. Of course, make sure that you have 3G signal in your location, or else you will only be connecting on GRPS speed, which is worse than a dialup!


Connecting to the internet:
1. You may try to use the Nokia PC Suite to connect online using 3G. If you would setup the network connection in the PC Suite, there's an option to choose your service provider. Globe Philippines and Smart Philippines should be there.

2. After choosing your appropriate network provider, try to connect. If you are able to connect and surf, you should be good to go.

3. If it failed to connect, try the next step.

4. Upon your attempt to connect to the internet using the PC Suite, a dialup connectoid is automatically created when you check the Network and Sharing Center in the Control Panel (or Start > Connect to) for Vista; Network Connections for XP.

5. Before proceeding, go back to the device manager and open the properties of the Nokia USB modem.

6. Click the Advanced tab, and here you will see a box for Extra Initialization Command to which you can enter a command string. Input this on the box exactly as it appears: +CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet"

7. Click OK then close the rest of the windows.

8. This time try connecting using that dialup connectoid in Connect To. The dialup number should be set to *99# and that username and password fields are blank.

9. Once connected, you will see a balloon message on the system tray saying that you are connected. 480+ Kbps of connection baby! Enjoy surfing!

Tip: When using Globe, first send the message TIMER to 1111 to start your 5 pesos per 15 minute charge, or else you will be charged 15c per kilobyte. That's gonna hurt. For Smart no further configuration needed, just follow the instructions above.
