Heya,
So i recently bought some new parts and threw together a system. I ran 3dMark 03 and pulled a score of about 3660.
My setup is:
AMD Athlon 64 3000+
Gigabyte ATI Radeon 9600XT - 256MB
Asus k8v - Deluxe motherboard
512 MB pc3200 Kingston Value Ram
40GB IBM HDD @ 7200 RPM (only 2mb cache, was a spare hdd reformatted)
thats all the important parts anyway... So i was wondering what performance tweaks or enhancements i could do to get the system running at its prime. I have windows XP pro loaded on it. I know there are a pile of registry tweaks, but i was lazy this time around and i just downloaded a program called XP-Smoker and put the performance tweaks to the recommended settings and let it fly
I dont really want to overclock anything - even though i know i can. I basically want to know - what other stuff can i do to get this puppy running at its full potential...
Advice would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks in advance guys - shan
