According to the article,--->Externer Link http://www.microsoft-watch.com/article2...838263,00.asp?kc=MWRSS02129TX1K0000535 the Voles in the Redmond Vole Hill will deliver some astounding features.
Those include the ability to launch apps 15% faster than Windows XP, boot PCs 50% faster, patch systems with 50% fewer reboots, and let firms migrate to Longhorn 75% per cent faster.
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\SessionManager\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.
From what I have been reading the tweak is designed for at least Windows XP SP2.
So maybe someone who has SP2 installed can see if improves anything.
One of the many claims Microsoft makes for Windows Longhorn is that it wil launch applications 15% faster than Windows XP does currently. This is down to improvements in the Prefetch functionality. There's no need to wait until Longhorn arrives; this improvement is already in Windows XP thanks to Service Pack 2. It just needs to be turned on.
To enable super prefetch:
* Use a registry editing tool (run>regedit) to navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Session Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters
* Insert a value with the following details:
Data Type: DWORD
Value Name: EnableSuperfetch
Value: 1
* Reboot your computer for the changes to take effect
please back up the registry entry first before you do it.
