Hi You old man again LOL,
Do you mean Multi-threading or multi-core process?.
If so, yes you can if your CPU support that.

Or do you mean copy something to what Directory? and for what aspect.
HTH.

Sorry, I don't understand. Please clarify exactly what you mean by
that question.

Hello


Shoot , I read on one of these xp home tweak and tips web site that
keeping the core system in ram would give me better perforance. below is
the instructions they gave to do it.


Launch the Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\
Session Manager\Memory Management.
Double-click DisablePagingExecutive DWORD value.
Change the value in the Value Data text box from 0 to 1, and click OK.
Close the Registry Editor
thanks

RAM.

The other article cited infered some kind of performance increase - though
this article suggests a performance hit on machines with large amounts of
RAM.

hmmm...

"Decreasing response time" is a performance increase, NOT a performance hit.

True, I mis-read it.
