General software, Operating Systems, and Programming discussion.
Everything from software questions, OSes, simple HTML to scripting languages, Perl, PHP, Python, MySQL, VB, C++ etc.
I have windows 2000 pro installed on my computer and I have xced some of the background services that run, that are designed for networking and some of the automatic updates that piss you off when running the o/s
I just wanted to know what services and or, what you guys do or install to speed up the opertions and processing of the o/s it's self.
I have heard that some people up the ammount of virtual memory, but i just wanted to open the question up to the guys and gals in here.
AMD XP 1800 running @ 1.54 MHZ, 256 MB DDR, Geforce 440 MX 64 MB, Soundblaster Audigy Platinum, 10/100 mbit NIC card - connected to a DLink router running a 1mbit/256 cable connection, 2 x 60 gb maxtor 7200 hard disks, 1 x IBM deskstar 80 gb 7200 hard disk, 17 inch Packard Bell Monitor... Windows 2000 Pro
I would work on trying to double this if you can.
A lot of the XP tips listed above for memory etc. work for W2K,
but as systems vary - always back up the registry first.
