Supersonic Setup
First things first – your hardware and operating
system software will have a lot to do with the
speed in which you work. Surprisingly, most
documents on completely ignore this area of
optimization. It is a huge subject that changes
fairly frequently, however I will give you a few of
my favorite techniques for speeding up even my
slowest machines.
Windows
Note – Adjust these settings with care. Microsoft creates
some crazy software – therefore, I don’t accept any
responsibility for any weirdness that may occur :-P
The most noticeable increase in general working

performance is going to come from getting rid of
all the ‘cute’ stuff that Windows 2000, ME and
XP all add. Some of these things you’ll never
miss: animated menu roll-outs and drop
shadows. And some are things you might miss:

Push your graphics card:

Use a utility like “PowerStrip” to seriously alter
your graphics card settings. Create profiles and
easily switch between them using a tray icon.
This utility saves your screen resolutions, icon
placement and image size and location to
profiles. Profiles can be launched via hot keys or
attached to certain programs. You can also use
this utility to over-clock Your Graphics Card’s
ability, but use that with caution.
