I do see a differnce in my machine. it does feal faster

Subject: Microsoft claims Longhorn will be, er, faster

http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=24731

"The only reason why its faster is they added a superfetch feature to the prefetcher. If you look at the key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Session Manager\Memory Management\Prefetcher

you will notice in windows xp

EnablePrefetcher = 3 and you will notice in windows longhorn
EnableSuperfetch = 1

Well, guess what? You can put the EnableSuperfetch = 1 in windows xp and get the same speed.

Wow, Microsoft just added a feature that was already there in xp.

Sorry first of all its not my finding and second of all here is a quote:

"At your own risk, Ed."

so my ass is covered. and its worked for me and my computer isnt unstable so if any of you get a problem

then you can blame it on PEBCAK (Problem Exists Between Chair And Keyboard)

Just so you know, this doesn't "speed up" your machine at all. Prefetching is basically the OS loading some of the files of commonly used programs into the memory, so they are there already when you need to run them.

While it may make your system SEEM faster, it actually hogs system resources for more memory-heavy tasks such as video editing, graphic design,and gaming.

By default, prefetching is enabled in XP, but only on a lower level. It was never "new"technology in Longhorn to speed your computer up, it's been around since XP came out, and enabled automatically.

yes prefetching has been in XP from the start and is standard in windows XP. this is not about Prefetching. this is about a feature called superfetch which is an addition to prefetching and is a feature that was anounced as a new Windows Longhorn feature.

http://www.longhornblogs.com/rdawson/archive/2003/11/04/1161.aspx

and I dont know about superfetch because its new to me but prefetching definitly makes Video editing and 3d applicatioons work better and is not much of a memory hog.

haha as i scrolled through this thread i sat there chuckling to myself as i can simultaneously open a music player, a video player, msn, the internet and various games as soon as i turn on my computer and it takes under 4 seconds to load all of them fully. and you know what? i didnt change dick all to my presets, i just had the smarts to buy a mac. 4 seconds, for 6 programs to load. done. you guys suck.

it makes the windows load faster, i can deff. tell that, cas when i am running photoshop usually that takes up a lot of my vitual memory and makes other things go a bit slower, that doesnt really happen anymore.
