Deleting the prefetch files is counter intuitive and DOES result in a performance hit. Sometimes small, but definitely there since XP needs to rebuild all of the "knowledge" in the prefetch info files.

And Minsps is not an XP option.

So, if neither of these, then what??

And, if you are "really" recommending deleting the prefetch files, please take the time to explain why you believe that this would actually result in an increase in performance.

You've giving out BAD information.

Anybody know what the second suggestion does?

[WhitPhil]

On a Win9x system, if the option is placed correctly, it gets around an error with no stack pages.

Since this is not an option on XP, it does nothing.

Ok, thanks.

to speed up in the system in xp why not boost the virtual memory in the custom
initial as 2064
maximum as 3064
and then click on set and then apply and click okay and then restart the system and then try msconfig and other attributes like defrag and disk cleanup and registry fixers.
this can be done by right clicking the desktop and then on properties and then advanced tab in system properties and then settings under performance and then advanced tab again and then change the attributes there.
also one can go on the internet and download the windows accelerator and then install the same on the system,this will boost the speed of the processor on the system itself.
PLEASE NOTE:These steps are performed and tested on 1500 DELL systems everyday.and not a problem till date.

Does that answer your questions.

what is the reason keep these useless files on the system if they do not have any use.
That space can be spent other things.

Just a simple thought dont you think so.

"boosting" virtual memory has no affect on performance.

By default, Windows uses as much as needed to begin with.

The key to performance is NOT having an overly active pagefile, and there are only so many ways to reduce this. Such as adding more ram and reducing the amount of applications being run simultaneously.

Playing with swapfile settings paid dividends on Win 3.1 and Win95, but with the advent of faster systems with more ram and faster drives, and the improvement in Windows memory management, there is little to be gained anymore.

was takling in only reference to XP that is XP HOME,XP PRO,XP MCE only,please read solution line first for reference.
Thanks

I was talking about XP (as well as Win9x)

Why do you believe that boosting VM on these systems affects performance?

Having more buys you nothing!

What the heck?!?!?!

[JohnWill]

The only thing I can see boosting virtual memory doing is reducing performance, I can't imagine having excess virtual memory available is going to help in any way. If you want better performance, add real memory.

Simply, no.
