Are you suffering from speed problems? Are you applications loading slower than they used to? There\'s a way that will allow you to speed up your system; and just give it a speed boost in general. But, this video is explaining what this feature actually does, unlike many videos out there.Sites Used:\nhttp://yayitsandrew.com/2008/02/13/vista-enable-advanced-performance-benchmark/\n\nApplications Used:\nhttp://www.hdtune.com/\n\nNow, Andrew (site above under sites used) may be right in his case. But, you might get different results. Because theirs IDE, SATA, and RAID (type of setup) harddrives. Theirs a bit more. But that\'s just the main ones. You should benchmark your system before and after you enable advanced performance under Device Manager for you hard drive. And see what kind of benchmarks you get.Here\'s my benchmarks. :)\n\nWith advanced performance off:\nhttp://tjasko.com/Images/Read%20AP%20Off.jpg\n\nWith advanced performance on:\nhttp://tjasko.com/Images/Read%20AP%20On.jpg\n\nAs you can see, there is a speed increase. ;) advanced, benchmark, bill, enable, gates, geek, how, increase, jasko, microsoft, performance, speed, tech, to, tutorial, up, vista, xp
