[Guest Jake]

hello:

i have WIn-Xp-Pro SP3 (works fine so far)

How much RAM does your system have?

 

How much RAM does your graphics card have?

Assuming everything is working as it should/clean/optimized with your PC...

 

Faster machine (which could be a faster processor, more memory, better video

card, etc...)

Re: WIN XP ANIMATION SPEED

 

Thanx for both of you:

 

the processor is: Intel® Pentium® processor M 2.0 GHz (centrino)

the memory is : 2 GB (2 x 1024) DDR RAM (PC2700, 333 MHz)

Video Memory : 64 MB dedicated DDR RAM

 

I dont have any problems with the system being "slow" but i would like to

know if there is a method to control the time intervals taken by the

animations done by windows XP, Such as minimizing or maximizing an

application, the fading menues, the drop down menues, etc..

 

for example: lets assume it takes 300 milli-second for a drop-down menu to

fade out, is it possible to make the interval 150 milli-second instead :-)

 

many thanx

The only adjustment that I know of (on my machine, at least) is one

for 3D rendering.

 

If you're running one of the versions with the Aero interface, it's

memory-intensive.

 

You might take a look at all the things you can eliminate and see if

that helps speed things up:

 

Control Panel (Classic view)

 

Performance Information and Tools

 

Adjust Visual Effects

Hi Jake,

 

I didn't know exactly what "animations" you were looking at, but in the

context of menus, TweakUI has an option under "Mouse" to adjust the

speed of the cascading menus open.

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx

 

Scroll down the right to select TweakUI.exe. Make sure you don't

download the one for "Itanium-based systems" unless you have that (64

bit Intel w/64 bit Windows).

There's no Aero interface on Windows XP (thank goodness). It's only on

Vista, and hopefully it stays there. His computer is not fast enough to run

Vista to begin with, So Vista would never be a problem.

 

Pentium M (as in Mobile) has very poor media performance. Even 2D animation

is hard for it because its memory communication is slow. It's basically a

Celeron with more, but slower, cache.

I gotta remember what group I'm replying to <vlush>. I'm running

Vista but still follow the XP group.
