this next tweak is only for laptop and pc\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s that have more than one core cpu's
(first before any thing download cpuz http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php)
all this is is cpu info that you need to know for my tweaks
this is my decktop info .take the cpuz exe file out to your decktop
now lets start dj cross+fades pc tweaks for us vista ,windows 7
1. go to start button
find msconfig in the search and click on it .
it looks like this
click on boot
now click on advanced options
now check the box that says number of processors .
i have a dual core so im typing in 2 if you have 3 cores then type 3 if you have 4 then type 4
after that reboot .
this truly enables more core on windows for some reason windows only has one core enabled .

That last bit you are changing says number of processors, not number of cores. Even if you have 2,3 or 4 cores you still only have one processor!

I understand what you are saying, but even if windows thinks there is more than one processor, there isn't so its impossible for it to make any difference, and thats why it won't have given you any trouble over the last year because its not doing anything. I checked this out a while back and it really won't make any difference.

i know there isn't but windows is dumb so if u have a dual core windows thinks u have 2 cpu's
what your doing here is tricking windows in to using all cores
to add to that if you have not tried it then you wont know
:) im just trying to help out my djs here
some mixvibes djs have done this and they said it helped
i do custom pc's i have to clean mind out today i will post a pic

tweak 3
this one is a must and most djs dont do it
make vista and windows 7 look like xp
so it uses less ram
go to start button Control Panel switch to classic view
now go to System it looks like this
go to advanced system settings
under performance
click on settings
and check the box i checked
now you will see that vista and windows 7 uses less ram and leave more ram for video mixxing

to much tweeking of any system can be bad no matter what your running, first off if your new to vista uninstall norton, if you go onto the internet replace with something that is less of a hog. + disable your uac.
disable all those crappy screen pop ups', you know the ones i mean, system asking you to do this and that.
before a gig along the task bar there are one or two things you should exit from, you'll see them and no explanation is needed, but other than that you should be good to go.
windows 7, why do anything with it, it's the gem between xp and vista and i haven't needed to do anything with it on my desk top, haven't replaced vista on the lappy because it runs well as it is, video's, audio and karaoke [when needed].
do nothing else until you have a problem, then delete or disable one by one otherwise you can make more problems than you are curing.
never listen to well intentioned good advice... except mine, lol.

Im gonna be honest here, with a clean install of Vista not much is needed to be tweaked. I ran into a mess of issues when I started "Tweaking". BE CAUTIOUS!!!!!!!! If u have no issues, LEAVE IT ALONE!!!
