Nick, I see that Disktrix has a new Ultimate Defrag version 8 that seems to be new. I've heard that this product allows some manipulation of the MFT for better performance. What do you think?

If you are using XP SP2 and are running a dual, quad, OR a single core Intel HYPERTHREAD processor, make sure this update is applied

Made optimizations described in your first post-related to virtual memory and registry twicks...
FS perfomance is noticably WORSE now...
Before windows visual effects optimization you forgot to mention that after these optimizations one will loose all his settings for windows appearance-for example if somebody uses(like me) windows classic style instead of XP style and some twicks for colors,font etc., he is going to loose all this and return back to XP default appearance...
How many times I said to myself not to listen to all that is posted in forumes?Sorry
As long as you do exactly as I outlined above AND DID NOT SKIP any steps or try and get -cute- or SMART with extra tweaks... and most of them other than what I posted ARE TRASH I assure you... you should now have a very optimized FSX rig

With SP3 this update is no longer needed.
On behalf of all of us, THANK YOU for taking the time to do all you do for us Nick, many of us (I at least) would be lost without your help.
Now I just noticed this new list, but I had followed the previous one to the letter, and though you may have had FSX users in mind while making it, I had great results in FS9 under XP Pro SP2. Would I see better results with these steps over the other set of tweaks, and would this new list be as effective in FS9 as they are for FSX?
