WIN XP ANIMATION SPEED

[Jake]

hello:
i have WIn-Xp-Pro SP3 (works fine so far)

the question i have is :

is there a way to make the animations of windows go faster !!!

thanks x

How much RAM does your system have?

How much RAM does your graphics card have?

Assuming everything is working as it should/clean/optimized with your PC...

Faster machine (which could be a faster processor, more memory, better video
card, etc...)

Thanx for both of you:

the processor is: Intel(r) Pentium(r) processor M 2.0 GHz (centrino)
the memory is : 2 GB (2 x 1024) DDR RAM (PC2700, 333 MHz)
Video Memory : 64 MB dedicated DDR RAM

I dont have any problems with the system being "slow" but i would like to
know if there is a method to control the time intervals taken by the
animations done by windows XP, Such as minimizing or maximizing an
application, the fading menues, the drop down menues, etc..

for example: lets assume it takes 300 milli-second for a drop-down menu to
fade out, is it possible to make the interval 150 milli-second instead

many thanx

The only adjustment that I know of (on my machine, at least) is one
for 3D rendering.

If you're running one of the versions with the Aero interface, it's
memory-intensive.

You might take a look at all the things you can eliminate and see if
that helps speed things up:

Control Panel (Classic view)

Performance Information and Tools

Adjust Visual Effects

Hi Jake,

I didn't know exactly what "animations" you were looking at, but in the
context of menus, TweakUI has an option under "Mouse" to adjust the
speed of the cascading menus open.

Scroll down the right to select TweakUI.exe. Make sure you don't
download the one for "Itanium-based systems" unless you have that (64
bit Intel w/64 bit Windows).

There's no Aero interface on Windows XP (thank goodness). It's only on
Vista, and hopefully it stays there. His computer is not fast enough to run
Vista to begin with, So Vista would never be a problem.

Pentium M (as in Mobile) has very poor media performance. Even 2D animation
is hard for it because its memory communication is slow. It's basically a
Celeron with more, but slower, cache.
