I' m just wondering if anyone has any experience or advise about
TuneXP. There's a few memory and hardware tweaks, most of which I
don't know much about.

Are these changes worth doing? Are they okay to do without screwing
things up?

Make sure you have a disk image or full backup of your hard drive on
which the operating system is installed. I've see one simple looking
tweak render Windows unbootable. If it is unbootable, you can't get in
to use System Restore (which is an unreliable recovery mechanism). With
a [physical] disk image, you can restore just like it was before. With
a [logical] full backup, you'll probably still end up do a reinstall of
the OS (even if it is part of a "full recovery" backup) and then run the
restore to recovery the files.
Even after protecting your butt with a disk image or full backup, be
sure to export the registry key before tweaking it. If you later decide
you don't want the tweak (which might've had you delete that key), you
can just double-click the .reg file to put it back as it was before.
Remember that you are experimenting with your system. If it is a
critical system, be prepared to explain why it is out of service because
of your tweaking.
