New tot he group and a networking question

Hi all,

Just got my 64 bit Dell workstation up and running yesterday, and so far it
runs great on XP64! Looking forward to learning a lot from the group.

Here is my question. I have done a fair amount of network bandwidth
tweaking of the HKLM/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/Tcpip/Parameters
values that work better on a high speed cable connection; do these still
apply under XP64? Or is there a whitepaper or write-up anywhere on the 'net
that explains the differences?

Thanks!

 

JMO... x64 appears to be setup for higher bandwidth connections and doesn't
need the tweaking like other systems.

 

What tweaking can be done on 32 bit Windows for higher bandwidths? I'm just
hearing about this now, but since most of our office has high speed and are
still 32 bit, I'm interested to learn about this.

I thought you could only do TCP/IP performance tuning in Windows Server
Datacenter Edition?

I have used TCP Optimizer on XP for a while now, it makes a big difference.
It will show you the registry settings it proposes to change based on your
connection speed and computer, and it will suggest them based on "optimal"
settings if that's what you choose.

Their settings don't work with XP64 yet, which is why I asked if anyone knew
what parameters were different with X64.

 

Where do I find the TCP Optimizer for Windows XP 32 bit?
