I turn off prefetch(set to 2), always did, always will.
It has never made anything faster being on or anything slower being set to
2.
I have a 2gig of ram(PC26400), AMD 2.6GHz cpu clocked to 2.8, no fancy XP
colors or other settings that just make it look nice.
No sliding, no gliding, no bright blue....
no fading in and out...........
and my setup is plenty fast enough for what I need.
I don't play games, just use the pc for graphics and music.
So there it is...............
a few seconds saved by using prefetch?
I think not.
