ANYONE WHO DOES THE FOLLOWING WILL BE GIVEN A REP
I'm looking for people who haven't already used this guide to perform some benchmarks for me, to show what sort of performance increase can be acquired through using these tweaks . Follow this method:
1)
Download and install passmark

2)
Run the full performance test and record/ take a screenshot of your results. (either just the end result or individual results aswell would be helpful).
3)
Perform all these tweaks (if you miss out a few make sure to post them).
4)
Redo step 2.
5)
PM me / post the results on this thread. I will include a table in my original post to show different user's results.
As passmark is a purely hardware based benchmark program, and cannot measure OS efficiency, or application/ general usage performance, massive increases in your passmark score are not expected. You should however feel a big difference when using XP.

What do you want to show with it and what is the use for an individual over here?

I'd love to try this but unfortunately I have switched to Vista almost a year ago when I got my new PC. I wish I had kept XP though, it's much better than Vista, IMO.
