XP Tweaks

Have an old PC that's slow as shit? Try a bit of tweaking. :)

Some common sense tips:

- Don't install programs or add-ons that you won't use. They eat up space, RAM and probably bandwidth.

- Always clean your PC. Do regular defragmentations and use CCleaner or similar programs.

Most tweaks are covered here: Tweak XP

PLEASE, oh please read the instructions carefully before you do anything! READ, READ, READ! And always make sure to do back-ups.

Network tweaking:

- Disable any programs that hogs system resources and bandwidth. If you don't use it, close it.

- Download Cable Nut

- Test your net speed here.

- Compute your net speed here: Cable nut calculator ,save the tweak file and apply in cable nut. Make sure to do back-ups first. 

Firefox Tweaks

Here's an easy, no non-sense approach Fire Tune

- Use Ad Block Plus and Ad Block Plus Popup Add-on to remove stupid ads. (Mozilla Firefox>Tools>Add-ons>Get Add-ons)

- Disable any unnecessary add-ons and plug-ins.

More tweaks next time.

Cheers. :)
