Speed up XP

[Guest]

I have an AMD K6 3, and through some recommendations and registry tweaks that
I have discovered I have made this machine much faster than a Pentium 4. I am
running XP service pack 2, with boot up time of 30 seconds, and with internet
pages called up in less than 5 seconds. If you want more details please write
to (e-mail address removed).

Alright, I'll bite.

I first want to say that I'm not calling you incorrect. I'm going to give
you the benefit of the doubt.

Could you post online the screenshots of your benchmark as well as the
utility used to benchmark the system's name so that I can see it before
asking for additional information?

I suppose if you pushed enough voltage through the system (the AMD K-6 III
was a decent CPU after all) and kept it cooled down inside of an industrial
freezer you might be able to get it to run faster than a very slow P4 for a
short time though I don't think it would stay running long enough to
actually benchmark it and I have serious doubts about it ever booting a
second time but hey, I'm always willing to see something new.

Pretend I'm from Miss. the Show Me State and show me?

Ha ha. I don't know about the CPU business but I do know that Missouri is
the Show Me state. The postal abbreviation for Mississippi is MS and
Missouri is MO.

Sorry, but the anal-retentive part of me made me do it. <g>

Oh come on Galen! Don't you know that you are supposed to believe everything
that anyone posts here?

Even these people who "download" a file and don't know what to do with it
(from warez?). If it was a competent and legal file the person would know
how to open it or there would be an installer when he opened the file. But
it is usually a .rar file that does not have any native decompression within
Windows.

Remember, every download is legal and every statement is correct - don't you
know.

Doh! My bad. I'll rush off and send 'em an email right away so that I too
can learn this secret. Believe it or not I actually have a couple of the AMD
K6-III CPUs kicking about the basement here and there. They were, in their
day, a great chip. Of course today your average cable box probably has a
faster CPU. Boy, if I could get one running at P4 speed I just might buy a
walk-in freezer to store them in and build my own cluster.

My ignorance is overwhelming it seems. I will Google "warez" and download
anything I find that says I'm able to do either own a program I don't have
legal rights to or do things that are nearly truly impossible to do with my
computer. While I'm there I'll get one of the RAM optimization tools,
something to route me through proxy servers (I really do want to use my
password for my credit cards while routed through a proxy server in Romania
you know) to be anonymous, and a tool to make Windows run as fast as a
cheetah.

Oh! I almost forgot! I'll need to get a registry cleaner that claims to fix
all known Windows problems, a spyware program from a SPAM message, and every
Norton product I can find. (I mostly want the Norton products to be able to
have them on hand to load to my Windows ME systems as I hear they're great
when installed on ME.) Now if I only had one or two of those free porn
dialers that call a small South Pacific Island to go with this I'd be just
about a well-rounded user. <g>

To top it all off, when the system is hosed and barely running, when I can
barely boot in a day and all of my credit card numbers are valid, I'll then
return and ask if a popup blocker will solve my problem and, when being told
it won't I'll insist I'm right. When I finally figure out that I'm wrong
I'll blame it all on Microsoft. There... Now that sounds just about right.

*feels good to let off a bit of steam once in a while*

Now that they posted an email in a newsgroup (I actually do use a real reply
to address but I'm well prepared to just delete massive amounts of email and
filter heavily as I believe in giving the OP a method to actually reach me
for additional questions) I have to wonder what they'll think of all the
messages that they get. I at least hope that it's their email address and
not the email address of an ex-employer or something. I probably should have
actually snipped it out of my post now that I think about it. Ah well...

Anyhow, yeah, if you read it in the NG it has to be true. <g> Actually I
make a couple of mistakes a week that I know about - usually from
mis-reading the post when I'm tired - and who knows how many other people
make or the intentional (or not) mis-information spread just in these groups
alone?

Dear All,
Found most of the posts here highly offensive..and shame on MVP for allowing
such offensive posts here. I was merely helping people out..and we actually
have found satisfied clients of our business ventures. Also I am surprised at
the use of my urls for justifying the exclusive nature of this discussion
board..I won't be visitting or posting here anymore. I can do without the
grief.

No one "allows" posts, we just respond to them. I'm with Galen on this, just
show the benchmarks. If you are comparing a stripped down system on the AMD
vs a fully loaded one on a P-IV, then is that a fair comparison? Think about
how the average user would employ the system, not about how the geek would.
If the system is overclocked, the configuration won't last long either
without a hardware burnout. BTW, I loved the K6 line, and due to the high
reliability I always had I now build with nothing but AMD.

Have you had reliability problems with Intel? I've built hundreds of systems
using both brands of CPU's. To date I've had one PIII, one P4, and one
Athlon I've had to warranty. I really haven't had reliability problems with
either brand. Both the P4 and the Athlon were caused by bad M/B's but the
CPU manufacturer didn't squawk about replacing them. Both brands have
advantages and disadvantages but reliability isn't a factor in picking one
or the other from my experience. Note, I have to support these systems so I
never overclock them.

*chuckles* I was in a rush and didn't want to type Missouri, buggered if I
know the PO abbreviation for it. Though I'm glad someone does. <g> The sad
thing would be that I know MO is the Show Me State. (It's on the license
plates of the tourists who come up to buy old lobster traps that aren't
worth 5 dollars for about 500 dollars. We sure do love 'em.)

Hi Kerry,

For me, it's more a matter of issues encountered after the build, and a
combination of compatibility issues and price. It soured me on the Pentium
line. And, there's always "bang for the buck", and Intel hasn't been able to
compare favorably since the K6-2. Just a matter of what works for me and
those I help.

Thanks for the reply. I'm always interested in what works for others so I
can build better, more reliable systems. For me I've found the quality of
the components other than the CPU determines the stability of the system. I
like the hyperthreaded P4's for some applications and the Athlon's shear
speed/price for others. Looking forward to trying the new dual core P4's.
Saw an Intel demo where a 2.4 GHz dual core outperformed a 3.2 hyperthreaded
CPU at the same task. Intel was even admitting that GHz was not the be all
and end all for indicating performance.

I'm sick of lobster and you know darn well it isn't the tourists we actually
like

No lie, I live in the mountains a LONG ways from the ocean, yet I've had
people drive the MANY miles up my road and then up my driveway and ask me
where they could buy lobster. This has only happened a single time and I did
the only appropriate thing I could think of. I said, "Try the ocean." and
went back to mowing the lawn.
