No prob, so that is with reg tweaks, barebones, lsc etc? Do you use maxmem?
Apparently Im retarded when it comes to tweaking xp because whenever I try maxmem I get worse scores. :eek:

Another thing though is this is x64 windows 7, x32 7 is better by far. I will get a clean install and see what I can pull at those setting to compare.

sounds good, i am interested in the best from W7 so if 32-bit is it, then i would love to see what you can pull off. just remember, enable only 2 cores instead of 4. i assume it is quicker on all OS's. perhaps try with 2 and then run with 4 just to see.

as for my XP setup, it is my best setup i use and i am always at the top of 32M efficiency. my OS isn't the best but close enough. there are definitely guys with better OS's setup in 2K3 or XP. i don't look at 32M tweaking as a specific set of tweaks, sure some are just "tweaks" like LSC, but i look at tweaking 32M as an entire process with setting up the OS.

for instance, maxmem isn't a tweak in the sense LSC is. you don't just enable it or set a value and get better results. maxmem can be used to enable higher stability when on the edge of memory (now uncore as well) clocks. maxmem is also used in conjunction with copy wazza and page file size. specific maxmem values combined with specific copy wazza methods and page file sizes can enhance the effects of copy wazza. it is sort of hard to explain but maxmem isn't what i call an "enable for better times" tweak...hence, why you don't get any gains or actually lose i would imagine.
