Yeah well some of us do have slower connections (Including myself)Im not sure what my Broadband cable connection speed is but it worked for me.

Realy theres no point in doing it anyway if your internets already realy fast.

DUDE THIS REALLY WORKS.
compare this test I did after the mod to the one in my avitar!.. NICEE.. Thanks so much..

Does this only work if you have DSL internet or does it also work with Cable?

 

[SubDude199]

I would have to say that windows looks at any connection to the internet and treats it the same..Im sure it will work for DSL, but if you sppeeds are less than 5 megs or so you might not notice it (not like I did anyway with a 3 meg jump)... go for it, it cant hurt and it only takes 20 seconds to do..

Thanks for the tip. I tried it and it did make a difference according to some speed tests, but nothing extraordinary.

[HELP_ME]

This has been posted here before, granted a long time ago. It's not a significant boost, if any, but some people may notice a few "points" increase with speed tests.

EDIT: Also worth mentioning, you *can* do this in XP HE. You just need to manually install the GPE. There are actually quite a few *XP Pro only* things that can be done in XP HE with a bit of work.

As seen here - http://www.geocities.com/kilian0072002/GPEditHome.htm

that site is gone :/ do you mind telling me what to do in XP HE? i really need it

 

[theboy]

Does Microsoft use that 20% for Windows updates or something???

 

[Jet]

I didn't get anything different.

XP Pro, 1.5/256

 

[patrickv]

baf, Xp pro here, no difference

 

[munkyeetr]

Does vista do this?

Yes, Vista also has this same setting.

 

[rbxslvr]

Doesn't do anything. I tried it set to 0% and 90% and there was no noticeable difference.
