DirectX 8 Performance Tweak!
Ah this is interesting. I noticed a forum post over @ the marvelous MadOnion Forums stating that there is still some performance to gain by using the DX8 control panel which you can download here.
Apparently DX8 was shipped by good old M$ with the "Debug" left on. This is a huge mistake and will cause unusual CPU access and lower performance significantly. This is what you have to do: Extract to Windows/System then go to Control Panel click on the DX applet go to the Direct Sound tab and slide the debug slider all the way to the left! This should give you some performance gain during playing games that use Direct Sound. Try it and post your experiences in our forums!

Hardware FAQ / Web Links!
Over a 1000 hardware and software links neatly organised. The startpage to have if you have hardware or software troubles, want to tweak your system or just want some information, guides and tutorials. The faq was founded in the end of 2000 and went through several appearances with a continiously growing number of links. Our site has now come to a grown up state with full PHP and Dbase support for easy and quick access. We started it to prevent people on our hardwareboard from asking the same things over and over again and it became such a big success that we went international. And remember: all banner free and no irritating popups. hwfaq.shrimpwars.be Thanks alot to RunOb for this link, its a great page.
