It might... I know that after disabling some of the services on my machine here at home, it could have become abit more unstable in some very heinous situations compared to my machine at work. (I have since turned back on some of the services dealing with the hard drive, parity check, write buffering and what not after one of my SCSIs came very close to dying.. 8) )
I also found it creates some instability and gives little or no improvement. Better to disable management counters with program exctrlst_setup.exe and try the memory tips from Ars Technica site.
