Makes no difference here whatsoever (which leaves me unsurprised). There seems to be no evidence of anything even reading such a registry key.


Ok. But things are a bit faster in WinXP for me.

Tried it with Win98 : I did not notice anything special.
That seems to confirm something may be happening in W2K as I noticed some faster closing of some apps.
Well, it does not do any harm anyway

I tried this tweak, and while normal windows programs did seem a bit snappier, it caused noticible stuttering in games that were previously silky smooth (Alice, Max Payne, Mechwarrior 4, etc)
