Tips Vista/XP

DISABLING UNUSED NETWORK CONNECTIONS WILL IMPROVE BOOT TIME

Say you set up a network drive for a network drive for a computer you had months ago but is no longer on your network: When Windows boot, it spends at least some time reconnecting to that drive, wasting precious seconds you could be spending on Facebook. While XP and Vista are better than older versions of Windows about network connections [who can forget those interminable “Connecting…’ messages?] it still makes sense to disconnect from network shares you no longer need. You won’t actually boot noticeably faster without those extra drive letters, but Explorer will become usable more quickly after launch. This is especially noticeable in Vista, which has a helpful “loading” progress indicator that overlays the address bar: Having any number of network shares will cause it to take any extra 10 to 20 seconds to fully load.

A midrange 6200-based card that delivers

When Nvidia inveiled its G200GPU, we were immediately drawn to the shiny, speedy GeForce GTX 280. Why wouldn’t we be? With the high core and memory clocks and 240 stream processors to churn through the toughest shaders, it was sexy and fast. We were less excited about 260, which sported 192 stream processors and slower clocks speeds but cost about $100 less than the 280( at the time). Since then ,ATI has released its R700-based Radeon 4870, which outperforms the original 260 but cost the same amount.
