@home speeds not changing after tweaking

[xKxJxOx226]

I am on @home cable, and i have 32mb ram and 333mhz proceessor , and when i experiemented with the tweak i put it 999999 for the Rcwindw and i did the tweak test and it said 9999999 for up and down, so i was just wondering if the rcwindow has anything to do with speed.:p

[Lobo]

Please click in my signature where it says Test tweak here, then:
At top where it says edit click and select, Select all,
Then go back to same edit button at top, click and select copy.
Come back to Speedguide, same thread you were on, in post reply box, with cursor blinking at begining of box go to top, edit, click, select paste, click, this will put information in box. Please X out your IP address, Thank you.:)

[Lobo]

What OS :)

[Lobo]

You've been here before same question, get more RAM:) :)

[Lobo]

I understand everyone loves speed, but you have a very small CPU and no RAM 32 megs is nothing, I would not be looking to upgrade, I would be looking for new system , CPU's are now a 2 GiG's, you want to run with the big dogs, get system with the stuff:)

[Idiot Savant]

Lower that Rwin, and

GET MORE RAM.



actually: a new system would work 4 u. I built mine for a tad under $1000, and I don't know of a faster one around.

Few tips: Avoid Pentium 4's and their horribly weak (read: gay) RAMBUS ram.
DDR is the $#!T, and cheap too.
Geforce 2 MX400 and Geforce 3 cards... only ones id recommend.

[Lobo]

No he's not going to lower RWIN, because it gives him a fake ONLINE high reading, he won't get that in a real download test, so he wants to fool himself, and 32 megs of RAM, I suprised you can even reboot with that:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

[Idiot Savant]

im sure 64240 would help just a wee bit more than 999999. or 513920.

Actually with 32 Megs, im suprised you could run IE.

[xKxJxOx226]

Well i will get more RAM its just a matter of time because , hey im only 16 years old and i know alot more than a usual 16 yr old would know about computers and i only have a small CPU because i bought this by myself, so u try what i did =)

I was also wondering how old yall 2 were that is Lobo and Idiot Savant.

[Lobo]

We were kidding, but you do need ram and that RWIN is to big:)

[xKxJxOx226]

Ok im gettin a 128mb plus my 32mb ram so im guessing that my speed so increase plus i would like to have some pointers on how to install my RAM, just slide it in the slot next to my 32 or what i need some help with that. The Ram will get here on Friday so thats when ill have it.

[Lobo]

Yes I will tell you how to put it in and you can print it dude, not hard but will make difference:)
If you are going to install 128 it needs to go in slot where 32 is now (1st slot) then 32 in next one


The actual installation of the memory module does not normally require any tools. RAM is installed in a series of slots on the motherboard known as the memory bank. The memory module is notched at one end so you won't be able to insert it in the wrong direction. For SIMMs and some DIMMs, you install the module by placing it in the slot at approximately a 45 degree angle. Then push it forward until it is perpendicular to the motherboard and the small metal clips at each end snap into place. If the clips do not catch properly, check to make sure the notch is at the right end and the card is firmly seated. Many DIMMs do not have metal clips; they rely on friction to hold them in place. Again, just make sure the module is firmly seated in the slot.

Once the module is installed, close the case, plug the computer back in and power it up. When the computer starts the POST, it should automatically recognize the memory. That's all there is to it!

The only thing I would add is some RAM goes straight down it slot, try both ways, there are clips on both ends that hold it in, to make sure it's in right before you put pooter back together again, turn it on RIGHT click on My Computer, select properties and it should tell you how much RAM is installed

[xKxJxOx226]

oh ok thanx alot lobo and i was also wondering what does RAM exactly do, i know it speeds up things but what exactly?

[Lobo]

Go to link above, How stuff works and it explains it:) :)

[xKxJxOx226]

Ok i put the RAM in and now i have 160 Ram and i ran the speed tweak :

For Win 9x bring up Cablenuts adjuster inside icon on desktop in box that says Cablenut,click on adjuster, in box that says DefaultRvcWindow take out number that is in there and put in one of these, 1 at a time, try: 64240, 208720, 224840, 227760


Leave GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize blank
You do not have to show me but check analyzer here at SG to make sure RWIN is in, you will see number right after (RWIN) on analyzer
At bottom click save to registry, and REBOOT each time you change value in adjuster or it will not work.Click on tools at top of IE, internet options, delete files and offline files (This is safe, temp files) and click on clear history after EVERY test Quick speed test here (http://speedtest.umnet.umich.edu/)
Speedtest may open another browser, so check taskbar and close other one, no other programs should be running, No AIM, ICQ, Virus scanner, Firewall, nothing
Once you find fast number for you, you want to save it, on file at top of adjuster click on that, save custom settings, put RWIN size in as name and click on save, now if you ever want these settings back, click on file, open custom settings file, and click on RWIN number, then click on save to registry at bottom, and REBOOT, your done.

Probably want to leave that Rwin alone :D

[xKxJxOx226]

Hey Lobo i went with the the highest Rwin u gave me :

Lobo, i now have windows xp 2002 professional version on i was wondering what should i use to tweak it now?

[Lobo]

Same thing except use WIN2k patches


Bring up Cablenuts adjuster inside Cablenut on desktop the numbers below go in 3 places in W2k and XP, they are: DefaultReceiveWindow, TcpWindowSize, GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize, take out number that is in there and put in one of these, 1 at a time, try: 208720


You do not have to show me but check analyzer here at SG to make sure RWIN is in, you will see number right after (RWIN) on analyzer

At bottom click save to registry, and REBOOT each time you change value in adjuster or it will not work. Click on tools at top of IE, internet options, delete files and offline files (This is safe, temp files) and click on clear history after EVERY test .

Tweaks for Windows XP

1.) Turn off System restore and auto updates.
2.) Use SG's System ini tweak set at 7168, type sysedit in run box, Close out of all boxes except System Ini, put it in 386th Enh, thats where it goes , see if it helps you are not, if you don't have alot of RAM it might not.
3.) Go to control panel, system, advanced tab at top,performance, settings, click on best performance,then advanced tab at top, background services, then programs
4.) Disable IDE Port Scanning on empty ports and save bootup time.
Go to System Properties by right-clicking on My Computer or via the Control Panel.
Select the Hardware tab.
Look at the Device Manager section and click on the Device Manager button.
This brings up the Device Manager screen.
Open up the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers device branch. Then you will see a list of all the IDE controllers

and channels in your system.
Now, select any one of the IDE channels, right click and choose Properties. Or just double click on the

IDE channel.
Now, select the Advanced Settings tab to get the screen below. As you can see below,

the second port (Device 1) on the Primary IDE Channel does not any IDE device attached to it.

Thus, the Device Type is labeled as Auto Detection. In contrast, the first port has a device attached. That's why the Device Type is grayed out.
To disable IDE device scanning for the second port, click on Auto Detection and you will see

two choices on the list. Select None.
Click OK and reboot. Windows 2000 will now refrain from scanning that IDE port at start up and

should load a little faster
5.) Use Win 2000- patches for XP
6.) Yes Cablenuts adjuster works with XP
7.) This is the neatest, do it and come back to forum,
Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Appearance and Themes.
Click the Display icon, click the Appearance tab, and then click Effects.
Click the Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts check box to select it, and select ClearType from the list.
Click OK, and then click OK again.
8.) This was for WIN 2000 but it works in XP too, I use it:
Here's a great tip to speed up your browsing of Windows 2000 machines. Its actually a fix to a bug that by default of a normal Windows 2000 setup that scans shared files for Scheduled Tasks. And its turns out that you can experience a delay as long as 30 seconds when you try to view shared files across a network from as Windows 2000 is using the extra time to search the remote computer. Note that though the fix is originally intended for only those affected, Windows 2000 users will experience that actual browsing speed of both the Internet & Windows Explorers improving significantly after applying it since it doesnt search for the Scheduled Tasks anymore. Here's how :

9.) This make broswing alot faster, but if you use scheduled tasks, don't do this,
Open up the Registry and go to :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Current Version/Explorer/RemoteComputer/NameSpace

Under that branch, select the key :

{D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF}

and delete it.

10.) Auto Logon XP
real easy and straight forward.


1. click on "Start" - then click on "Run" - type "control userpasswords2"

2. click OK

3. On the Users tab, clear the "Users must enter a user name and password to
use this computer" check box.

4. A dialog will appear that asks you what user name and password should be used to logon automatically.

Your all set.

11.) One of the most full featured Windows XP configuration tools available is hidden right there in your system, but most people don't even know it exists. It's called the Local Group Policy Editor, or gpedit for short. To invoke this editor, select Start and then Run, then type the following:
gpedit.msc

12.) I stole this from another sitr: Set at 0 for XP:REAL TIME PRIORITY


... Appears courtesy of Hesham (hesham732@cs.com).
NOTE: To learn how to increase the level of CPU priority used for foreground/background applications in Win9x/2000/ME see "CPU PRIORITY", also in REGISTRY.TXT, part of my Win9x/2000/ME/XP + DOS 7/8 ©Tricks + Secrets files [W95-11D.ZIP].

"To boost dramatically your CPU priority in Windows 9x/ME for higher performance, run Regedit and go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\contro
l\PriorityControl

Create the "PriorityControl" Registry subkey if not present: right-click in the left hand pane -> select New -> Key. Name this new subkey "PriorityControl" (no quotes) -> click OK or press Enter.
Highlight this new subkey -> create a new DWORD Value called "IRQ#Priority": right-click in the right hand pane -> -> create a New DWORD Value named "IRQ#Priority" -> click OK -> double-click on it -> check the Decimal box -> type 0 to turn it on -> click OK or press Enter.
To get the actual IRQ# go to: Control Panel -> System -> Device Manager -> System Devices -> System CMOS/real time clock -> Properties -> Resources tab -> default IRQ# is 8 on all IBM PC clones [yours included ]. Therefore you need to rename the DWORD above to read "IRQ8Priority" (no quotes).
Close Regedit and restart Windows to see the effects



I have mine set at 0, yours may be different



13.) You can easily create a bootable floppy disk by following these steps:

Place a blank disk in the floppy disk drive.
Click Start, and then click My Computer. Or My Computer Icon on desktop
Right–click the floppy disk drive, and then click Format on the shortcut menu.
Click Create an MS–DOS startup disk, and then click Start.
Now you’re on your way to a bootable startup disk.

Speedguide's speed patch (W2k) is not installed, to fix other problem at top of adjuster under Options, select operating system,
click, select WIN 2000:)




This is speed patch you want for XP" sguide_tweak_2k.zip


It says nothing about ccs in help thread
Put our patches in first, save setting first (directions on help thread, then try whatever you want, then at least you can get back to our settings if you wish:)

[xKxJxOx226]

Ok i put the spguide tweak in and this is what it gave me but i still tried cablenuts, then it still said ihad win 98 but i upgraded was i supposed to do like a full instalation?

Have you got XP on same drive letter as 98, if so yes it has to be clean install:)

[Lobo]

If you put XP on over 98, UPGRADE, put on the coffee, get out round thing (Disk) format and start over with clean install of XP:)


Or if you have another partition put XP on it (Different drive letter)
and add/remove XP from where it is now:)

[xKxJxOx226]

Yea thats what i thougth was wrong so yea im going to try and do it again thanx lobo ill be back to post up my string ok

[Lobo]

Read about upgrading to XP in help thread:)
