Optimize Windows XP performance options for high performance windows 

Windows allocates system resources according to its settings and manages devices accordingly. You can use the System tool in Control Panel to change performance options on the Advanced tab of the Performance Options dialog box that control how programs use processor time, Windows memory and virtual memory including paging file size, or environment variables.

You must be logged on as an administrator to the local computer or have appropriate network privileges to make changes in System tools.

Optimize processor scheduling for CPU speed
System processing is managed by Windows, which can allocate tasks between processors, as well as manage multiple processes on a single processor. The processor scheduling controls how much processor resources Windows XP devotes to a programs or processes. However, you can set Windows to allocate more processor resources to the programs that you are currently running in the foreground. This can result faster program response time. But if you have many background programs and services which include print jobs, disk backup and other applications running in the background while you are working, you may prefer Background services option.

Optimize Windows memory usage for faster memory management
Optimize your computer's memory usage to increase Windows XP ram performance and set how Windows uses system RAM. If you use your computer primarily as a desktop system, rather than as a server, you can have more Windows memory devoted to your programs which allocates more RAM to running applications. Your programs will work faster and your system cache size will be the default size that came with Windows XP. Read more. 

 

Optimize Windows virtual memory management
When your system is running low on RAM then Windows uses hard drive space to simulate the system RAM. This is known as virtual memory, and is known as a paging file. Its purpose is to extend the amount of physical RAM and make it available to the system. The default size of the Windows virtual memory paging file (named pagefile.sys) created during installation is 1.5 times the amount of RAM on your computer. Read more.

This trick requires at least two separate hard disks. This trick is not reccomended if you have a single hard disk or the hard disk has multiple partitions.
