THIS WILL WORK FOR NORMAL CLIENTS AND SERVERS
At the System Properties Window (control panel -> system)
1. Get rid of system restore (turn it off) (system restore option)
2. Uncheck the automatic updates (Automatic option)
3. In the advanced setting go for performance settings.Adjust it for best performance.
4. XP Pro ONLY - Open "run" window, and run "gpedit.msc". follow this tree, computer configuration, administrative templates,network, QoS packet scheduler, at right window, right click on "Limit reservable bandwidth" and get properties, in the new window, make this enabled, and in the bandwidth limit (%) part enter 0 (i mean zero), apply and exit.
5. Go to this page --> http://www.blackviper.com/WinXP/registry.htm, in this
page you will find some registry files, "safeproallstart", "safehomeallstart",
"gameingproallstart", these files are really great, they will disable many of windows xp services that are useless and can occupy memory and cpu usage.
I recommend "safe" settings because they do not harm anything, besides try to learn everything on that page,do not disable any
service from msconfig, thanks to this cool guy.
6. Get TweakXP from TweakXP.com, this is the most coolest application that
I have ever seen for tweaking WinXP, configure it due to your needs, and do not forget the hardware part, it can help alot.
7. If you have Service Pack 1 installed, and you use a hlds with windows media player or flash player (for high HLDS fps) use this tweak for decreasing cpu usage that mediaplayer eating,
run regedit, go and remove this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes
\CLSID\{87D62D94-71B3-4b9a-9489-5FE6850DC73E}\InProcServer32"
8. If you use a standalone server for HLDS (not for any other usage), try to disable any sound system on your computer.
9. Disable any kinds of indexing service on your hard disk partitions.
10. Disable any kinds of power managment for your hard disks.
11. Always use the lastest drivers for your mobos, latest Bios upgrade and so on. Most of the times you can download these things from your mobo's manufacturer.
12. Don't forget most of smooth servers are using cpus with a large amount of L2 cache and front side bus, and a great amount of RAM!!!
13. Run msconfig and at the "startup" option try to uncheck every unneeded application or ...
14. Try to defrag your hard disk every 2 weeks, this helps alot for having better H.D.D performance.
15. Also, be sure to scan and remove adware and spyware from your computer. I recommend using BOTH of these programs: Ad-Aware & Spybot: Search & Destroy
16. Beware of viruses; keep virus software updated as well as windows ( http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com )
17. Try to have a great cooling system for your server.
