Vista SP1 now available on Technet

Earlier I had written that Vista SP1 was available on MSDN and Technet - I was wrong. I assumed this because Microsoft had released it to manufacturing. In the past this always meant that it was on MSDN right away.

I didn't notice this because the MSDN site was getting slammed by people downloading Windows Server 2008. Once the dust settled I started looking for the RTM Vista SP1 download. I couldn't find it.

After searching around the internet I discovered that for various reasons MS was not releasing it to subscribers until the rest of the public was getting it. As you can imagine this caused a huge blow up among the paying subscribers to MSDN and Technet.

Finally, Microsoft has caved and they are now allowing Technet subscribers to download it:

Vista SP1 Technet

I will be testing it as soon as my download completes. Still the question remains - why not on MSDN? Don't developers need to see this release early too?

How to Get Your Computer to Boot Faster

Step 1:
The biggest problem is that almost every time you install new , it loads when you boot. I have applications that I rarely use like optical character recognition, and those I turn to several times a day like . By simply loading only when you need it, you can cut your significantly. To see what is loading now and to pick and choose in XP click on your . Go to Run. Type: msconfig. You’ll be presented with tabs. You’re probably operating under Normal Start Up which loads all and services. Choose Selective Startup instead. Under Selective Startup I’ve checked Process System.INI , Process Win.INI., Load System Services, Load Startup Intems and Use Original Boot.INI. If you are an advanced user and you know what you are doing you can select or deselect these boxes as you choose. If you click everything except Services and then click disable all, followed by OK, you’ll end up . Our goal here is to cut back on the . Click that tab.

Windows Tweak - Increase Video Card Performance

If your into PC Gaming and want more performance out of your Video card, there are a few essentials you want to do which can prevent a choppy and disappointing 3D experience.

You can have a really good Video card, but whats the use if you haven't tweaked it for performance. Dont just settle for the defaults that Windows or your Video card manufacturer sets you up with when you first install it, tweak it!

Lets go through some obvious and not so obvious areas you want to check and do some adjustments.

The focus of Video card tweaking is getting the most your PC can handle from specific Direct3D
Once You Know, You Newegg
and OpenGL settings. There are many other areas starting from the BIOS, Overclocking to adjusting Windows Memory settings that can also improve performance, however the easiest and most noticable tweak starts at your video cards driver and setup level. For this reason, whether you have a Nvidia or ATI chipset the bottom line is always having the latest drivers installed if possible and then tweaking them.

I'll use examples that are essentially applicable to both ATI and Geforce Cards since these are the majority types used on the market.

First thing to do is access the "Advanced" settings of your Video card.

As you can see here when you open the Display settings in Windows to access the ATI Catalyst Driver settings it is set to "Basic" change it to "Advanced" so we can tweak it.

You will then be able to access a similar screen like this:


Similarly if you have a Geforce Card make sure you select the "Advanced 3D settings option".

You will then be able to access a similar screen like this:

Tweaking your Video Settings for Performance - Part 2

Older ATI drivers and cards had the options for Direct3D and Open GL, today the new Catalyst Control center merges both into one category called 3D. So it here is here you want to adjust your 3D settings.

Expand the 3D settings section and select the "Anti-Aliasing" sub-category on the ATI or if you have an Nvidia, go into the "Manage 3D settings" option (Make sure you are in Advanced View check under the View menu).

Sample ATI Screen
.

Sample Nvidia Screen





Next find the following options which fall under the 3D settings categories and adjust as follows:

- Anti-Aliasing
For an ATI card check off the box 'Use application settings' box, so that the level of Antialiasing can be set within particular games for example and won't conflict with your Control Center settings.
For an Nvidia card select the 'Force Antialiasing Off' for all games regardless of their in-game settings

- Adaptive Anti-Aliasing
For an ATI card uncheck "Enable Adaptive Anti-Aliasing" if you have choppy frames and slow performance. If this is checked it will increase the quality of the appearance at the expense of processing power which could make it slower.
Similarly for an Nvidia card you would lower the rate to 2X or 4X or turn it off and turn off the transparency option.

- Anisotropic Filtering
For an ATI card uncheck the "High Quality AF" box, and leave checked the "Use application settings".
For Nvidia, adjust the settings down for performance similar to as mentioned above.
