asubaseball727 Posted January 1, 2006 CID Share Posted January 1, 2006 Enabling super prefetch in Windows XP SP2 One of the many claims Microsoft makes for Windows Vista is that it will launch applications 15% faster than Windows XP does currently. This is done through improvements in the Prefetch functionality. There's no need to wait until Vista arrives; this improvement is already in Windows XP thanks to Service Pack 2. It just needs to be turned on. To enable super prefetch: Use a registry editing tool to navigate to the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSession ManagerMemory ManagementPrefetchParameters Insert a value with the following details: EnableSuperfetch REG_DWORD 0x00000001 [Reboot your computer for the changes to take effect] I went to edit, new and there were 5 different types of values. Which value should I insert? P.S. Thanks so much Rom-Dos... This is the first time I saw your post and its awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
