only tweeks i've made is with apperance to speed up performance and constantly running the hard disc clean ups, ad-aware helps and clearing out the prefetch (XP only)

I just bought a new system when my old one couldn't handle the strain anymore. I recently bought a Dell monster system, got the best of everything put into it! But, for 4 years I worked on a PII233Mhz, with 64Mb ram, a 3Gb Hard Drive and a crappy 15" monitor with a 4Mb Graphics card! In fact, most of my 250 uploads to this site were made on that system.

The only "tweak" that I have on this new 'puter is "Cyberlat Ram Cleaner" for freeing up Ram when using Photoshop and the .psd files get a little big (Well, huge would be more accurate!)

The best 'tweak' you can make is to maximize the amount of RAM in your computer and also on your video card...

If you have a lot of RAM aleady you don't need any Ram optimizing software......

Dark Mist: just do a search on Google, you'll find it.

I can't remember where I picked it up.

by increasing it... physically.

windows is taking more hard drive space to make more RAM space and its gradually slowing things down

More RAM will make your computer faster than increasing the clock speed...
