I emailed the people at techbargain and this is the response that was given to me: The 3 tweaks really depend a lot on how much memory you have in your system and how much memory your programs use. You don't want to use some if you don't have lots of memory. IE less than 256-384MB.

I saw the link for it in Win XP News in newsletter #133. I asked some people on a tech forum if anyone had ever tried these tweaks. One guy responded that he was going to give them a try this past weekend. When he emailed his results, he said that after the suggested tweaks that he had a lot of error messages on startup and some other issues. He had backed up his system before performing the tweaks so, he's ok I think. He suggested that maybe the tweaks were best performed on new installed XP systems. Do you think this is so or what do you think might have happened? Thanks for your response!

Win XP News said they took it from a PC Mag article. But, I don't still have the newsletter. I'll try to look for it and see if I can find it....
