I hope you're not going to switch back to ie6 because you're not hearing those sounds.... LOL.

Mozilla doesn't have the sounds... It's an IE6 microsoft thing only. Microsoft has programmed it into their browser. Mozilla has not.

neo86

Holy sh*t that rwin is high.

neo86

I'll humour your ignorance by not responding anymore.

neo86

*cough* placebo *cough*

Why do you have windows 98 tweaks for windows xp?

Any tweaking done to the system.ini in windows xp has no effect.

neo86

Sorry, but OOL people are annoying.

I only get 1.5 mb with my connection at maximum speed.

Stop rubbing it in my face!!

neo86

You and every man's dream.

JUST A DREAM!!! Unfortunately...

neo86

I found WinXP pro to be faster than win2k, and it uses less memory as well.

This is with no tweaks done on a clean install for both os's.

neo86

So did you try the formula or not?

Results speak more than theories ever could.

Anyways, this thread is already dead. I'll keep my discoveries to myself from now on. Even numbers do worlds of good for efficiency.

neo86

Did you even try the formula?

neo86

Would somebody mind testing out this new rwin formula I have for XP/2k:

x=your cap in bits
mss=your mss (usually 1460)
mtu=your mtu (usually 1500)

e.g: If you cap is is 1.5mb/sec multiply 1.5*1000000 to get your cap in bits.

x/8*1460/1500=TcpWindowSize

If the value is an odd integer or has ...

The Windows XP format utility allows you to set the chunk size for your NTFS partition.

I set mine equal to what it would be if I partitioned with FAT32. I wasn't surprised when I actually gained performance.

I was looking at stuff to tweak in my PC and came upon the IRQ priority control tweak for WinXP.

I noticed a nice boost after giving the real time clock maximum priority. From that point onwards I decided to give my DMA controllers a priority boost, and then my NIC was next in line for priority ...

neo86

Don't forget that the ip header when using ping -f -l command is only 28 bytes.

That's why mine will go to 1472. 1472+28=1500.

When using that system add 28 to the number and then subtract 40 for the mss to be used in your config.

neo86

What exactly is the point of putting the afd,tcpip drivers into ram?

Windows puts them into memory during startup.
With this "tweak" my startup times are horrible and if I go to a different domain name it takes a lot longer to get the dns.

neo86

Well, looks like you've hit your max. I envy you though. I am capped at 1500/128, and rarely hit even 90% of the cap even with all the tweaks.

You can't really do much for gaming. Gamings uses UDP, and therefore no amount of tweaking to TCP/IP will improve game play.

neo86

Try changing your TcpWindowSize to 291456, and change Tcp1323Ops to 1.

Post yer results on the same test pllllllllleeeeaaaaaaaseeeeeeee!!

Both=Childish
Both=Stubborn

neo86

If you want to help then shutup and stop posting stupid threads about petty disputes between whose settings are better.

Harsh but true.

neo86

Try 292000 for your rwin.

neo86

I believe it has more to do with what the motherboard sets it to, and which pci slot it's in.

Each motherboard varies which pci slots have which irq.

Only guess, but I'm sure it's more accurate than defaults for types of cards.

neo86

There's just no pleasing you is there.

neo86

Sorry, but I just hate ACPI.

I usually shoot to kill when I see ACPI. At least in win2k/xp I've had major stability issues with my videocard sharing IRQ's with other devices.

I try chaning them in the bios, but unlike your results win2k/xp don't follow those on my system(s).

neo86

Being helped by people is a privelige not a right...

As for your thread I don't know how!

neo86

Heh, I just thought I might get that question in case it was your next one.

I've had limited success with lowering the size of the packets I sent to 576.

Of course in my area the upload is horrible regardless of what I do.

neo86

I'm not going to argue with anybody.

I'm just stating a fact. If somebody decides to argue I won't be around to bother responding.

neo86

To tell you the truth a lot of people on this site are wishing that tweak worked. You can't assign memory to IRQ's using the system.ini file. Memory assignment is done by the kernel or the drivers.

So you don't have to worry about anything.

But if they convince you otherwise and you decide to use ...

neo86

Sorry to break the news, but you can't do much for upload without uncapping (changing the rated speed) which is illegal.

There really isn't a fullproof way to hack your modem to give you higher upload speeds. Tweaking does absolutely nothing for upload.

Even if you did uncap your modem your ISP ...

neo86

Micro, you are right, but I'm not completely wrong. :)
I was thinking of balancing the load between two nics. I was wrong when I used the word network.

Anyways, there are two third party software products that you can use: Surfdoubler and Midpoint.

Midpoint is actually a gateway of some sort ...

neo86

I don't believe a simple reg hack will enable it. There have to be drivers bound to the adapters which will only occur if you have Windows 2000 Server Edition or third party software.

Definitely seems to be server edition or ...

Although Comcast claims to be capped at 1500/128 my cable modem configuration says it's more like 1800/128. I rarely get anything above 1500 though.

neo86

Ummm... yes you can... I don't know how, but my brother did it before. Windows 2000 Server Edition has the feature, and there are some third party software developers that provide it.

I believe it's called NLB-Network Load Balancing.

Unless you have two internet connections or are running a ...

neo86

What exactly are the differences between your settings?

I don't use either of them so I don't know what you are talking about, but I'd like to help.

Easiest way to solve this is to ban the person who's bothering you.

neo86

I find my own tweaks faster

neo86

I was wondering what your caps were since you used to be on Comcast as far as I remember. Did you change your service or did you switch to the Pro package?

I haven't been here in a LONG time.

400 KB/sec is awesome!!

neo86

You have more patience than I will ever have...

neo86

My theory is that when you open a connection to a server you get a burst of data because that's exactly what it is.

ISP's allow an unlimited burst when a connection is established.
Then it's capped... :(

I checked in my cable modem configuration file and it says

"Maximum Downstream Channel Burst ...

neo86

Doesn't matter how high you set your RcvWindow because windows just lowers it back down to whatever works best. It's just a matter of how quickly it does it that makes a difference.

More accurate the RcvWindow the better your speed will be.

If you have a RcvWindows of 1,000,000 and connection ...

neo86

The "system.ini irq tweak" is complete B.S.

However, I won't stop anybody from using it because it doesn't do any harm.

neo86

Hehehe, I've created a new tweak that'll give you an extremely big boost during the start of the download. It'll taper off to what you are supossed to get, but still... downloading half 1 meg file in half the time it would take without the tweak is good, no?

Need RWIN formula tested.

An original tweak?

afd, tcpip ramdisk "trick"

What are your caps Lobo?
