SpeederXP ... Strange..

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

SpeederXP ... Strange..

I'm not one to usually believe in a lot of things, especially things that proclaim they will make your computer run faster, but someone told me about SpeederXP, and I'm not quite sure if I'm just imagining this, but for once this utility seems to actually make it "seem" faster. All I can confirm is that things that usually load fast seem faster, but things that load slow seem to load the same. My guess is that it messes with priorities, though I'm not quite sure I've seen things run this sort of way with that. It's very odd, http://www.speederxp.com if you want to try it, seems to be a foreign author.

I'll give a try Thunder...
Even though I think XP runs pretty fast most of the time...
I just formated my drive and reinstalled XP pro and it runs smooth as a baby's butt... I think the reason for slow load times is over registration.. Many small programs as meyea, $avenow etc. all writes in the reg. base, and I think thats the course..

You probably won't see much difference I don't think, my computer has a history of underperforming.

More update, it's not magic, but seems to display things slightly faster (which is good seeing as how my S3 ProSavageDDR is incredibly bad for displaying application graphics)
