A member in the Tweakers Australia forums found a little hack, actually a registry edit that is supposed to speed up the Windows XP shutdown / startup command by altering the WaitToKillServiceTimeout key.

Found this news @ Ray Adams NVIDIA Bios Collection and this is what they said:
Instead of just disabling all those unnecessary services in XP, why not remove them altogether? Of the 70+ services only 4 are required for a standalone machine. A typical TCP/IP dial-up networking system requires around 7 or maybe 8. Click on Read More... for a link to more information.

Just saw this @ Entcity.com.

then you probably run it on an ATI Radeon card. The crash seems to be related to an undefined 8bit stencil buffer call in the drivers. There is hope though because you can workaround this problem via the registry...

Overclockers.com have developed a AGP PCI Latency Utility that can change the clock cycles that a AGP video-card takes on motherboards with VIA chipsets!

I've created a fix for a nasty bug in WinXP which seems to affect Abit KT7A users. Symptoms are the computer sitting there during bootup doing nothing for 40-80 seconds, and you can't do anything. Update: Apparently there was a bug in that fix. Users need to redownload cause 3 services need to be stopped for this fix to work.

GeForce AA Set: software installs itself in the Windows Taskbar as a couple Tray icons, and gives you fast access to total control over the Antialiasing capabilities of your GeForce1/2/3 card.

This little utility will cool your Athlon/Duron processor on Via KT133 or KX133(A) (VT8363, VT8361, VT82C691/693A/694 or VT8371 +VT82C686x) chipsets during idle!! :D

I noticed in some forums, including ours and the Warp2Search.De forums, that some people have an bootlag on WinXP when they start their computer.

Just read some interesting tweaks @ TweakXP and thought I'll pass them on to you. Thanks to Dr. Dong for the tweaks. The first "works" quite well so far. The second gave me a BSOD but perhaps it works for you: 1. Improve Your CPU's Performance 2. Increase Speed By Tweaking Prefetcher Settings Learn more about those two... German Translation @ Planet-XP.de :)

I received an e-mail today, I thought everyone using the latest nVidia drivers would be VERY interested in knowing this :) Maybe you gamers out there have noticed that the newest Detonators (23.10, 23.11) have different D3D keys in the registry than previous drivers? Maybe not? Anyways, these new D3D-keys disables the use of coolbits...... Read more over @ MaxReboot

I came across the site Speedguide.net which seems to offer quite a few tweaks for broadband connections. There is an interesting network card tweak posted there which gave me a little extra performance...
