I have been playing with the Win32Priority and with the value set to 2. My speed on the OOL Ftp test stabilized at 492kbs, OMG, that is of three tests all the tests hang in the 950kb to 1.5mb range for the 1st 20sec, and then slowly dropped to various speeds in each test and stabalized at about 40 to 50 %. Test 1: 512kbs, Test 2: 483kbs, and Test 3: 492kbs. After reading that the value set to 2 uses the most of the CPU for focused programs. Just figured i would share this will you, i seen you were playing around with it.

Already tried it, see 0 gives both the same amount, background and programs, 2 gives more to programs alone

Alright, I got it seems nice, still checking it out.

UMMM guys I hate to burst your bubble but those two settings have nothing to do with your data transfer rate

.

P.S. I know your gonna argue with me so go ahead and believe it does if it makes you feel better.

What would reasons of the speed increases? I tried with and without and there is a speed increase. Could there be some other varibles to this.

so what would be d best value for Win32PrioritySeparation=(?) in terms of data transfer rate?

i got 2 pc's running on windows nt 4 ws. pc 1 is PIII 750mhz & pc 2 is AMD K6 350mhz 3D Now.

This value has absolutely nothing to do with data transfer, all it does is give more cpu cycles to the foreground application running than the applications running in the background, the proper values to make it do that is 2. Your cpu speed has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with raw data transfer, there are only anumber of settings that actually contriblute to data transfer speed and all of them are under the following 2 registry keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\AFD\Parameters

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters

There are a few other parameters that possibly help with performance but are debateable. If you get the values in the keys above set properly for your connection you will maximize your speed and performance. I mean why do you think Lobo changes his ridiculous thread every single day? One day it says "this is with PC Booster" then "no PC Booster" then "with Win32PrioritySeparation set to ??" and the next that changes??

Why do you think that changes EVERY SINGLE DAY....... because those things have absolutely NOTHING to do with your connection, period. And neither does Cacheman...... if Lobo has 640MB of RAM and is only running his OS and Cachman when he runs these tests how much RAM do you think he is actually using?... at the most I would say 128MB, so he has 512MB FREE, what in the world is Cacheman gonna do??? NOTHING, it has no effect whatsoever on his speed. The reason his speed tests change are the same reason we have explained time and time again...... congestion, routers, hubs, line quality etc. - not these settings. Just get the settings above set right for YOUR connection and be happy that you are getting more speed than your next door neighbor on the same node as you.... remember 90% of your caps is the goal and most people would kill for that.

For one i understand what your saying about the priority settings, I trust you know what your talking about. As for the rest i know 90% is a great thing to get from your connection, And i am happy with my speeds, I am getting every bit of that and more at times, But i think that the need for speed is breed into everyone, You know that hope to just find that super secret setting, It may not exist but there is no harm in trying, I try not to do things at every whim, and i do read alot of literature on how things work, And i can tell you do the same thing, you seem to be a very straight forward guy who seems to be content with what you have and the settings you use, Thats why i listen and respect what your saying. I have a little bit of the hope ridden dreamer in me that seems to think that everything can be better and faster, however wrong or right it don't matter. I just want to see what i can get out this expensive piece of tech, Not always a good thing but oh well. Everybody should have there own opinion, thats why we have all gotten as far as we are now, and what makes it all worth while. I Love This Sh*t.

I agree Hybridmonolith, I LOVE to tweak that's why I named my computer business Dr Tweak, I too am ALWAYS looking for that new and better tweak. The thing is you must look for that "special" tweak that relates to what you are trying to tweak and fooling one's self and others that certain things effect your connection isn't right. I mean look at the posts of people that get 95% of their caps and say "what else can I do, I want more speed".... well this type of thing is only confusing them, they are getting every bit of speed their connection will provide and posting unrelated tweaks just wastes their time and provides for useless and countless reboots to find that it did nothing for them. My whole point really is what I have been saying "don't post something unless you understand how and why it works", if people understood what these tweaks effect they wouldn't post them saying they are helping their connections because they are completely unrelated to data tranfer rates. My moto has always been... if it ain't broke TWEAK IT. Some of these tweaks are legit and do work but not for internet connections.

I agree, and well put. I try not to recomend any tweaks, but its hard to post something for you guys to see and give me your input on and not have people trying it. But i do understand what your saying. And all i can say is TWEAK ON

IGNORGED, show me, and also explain why a 3MB test is better than a large download Superflea

What are you talking about? I've never said a 3MB test is better than a large download, uou must have me confused with someone else.
