Hi guys,

I was wondering, has anyone tried creating another boot sector on there systems (another copy of XP) wherby it only has FS2004 installed on it? I am wonder if this could improve the performance rapidly??

You could have two versions of xp - one is booted which has all of your normal programs, MSN Messenger etc and all the other c**p in the background, whilst the second boot version contained nothing but FSIM?

Ignoring the licensing issues, would this concept be possible? Has anyone actually done it?

thanks Grin

I would think the difference in performance would be minimal, if any. Maybe if you had a slow/older system it could help, but current rigs can handle all the background stuff running without a hit.

Better hardware is the best way to go for increased performance. Software tweaks/optimizations just dance around the real issue.
