Optimization of Windows XP for Audio

By default, Windows sets virtual memory automatically, which can limit system performance when it comes to audio. It would be wise to disable virtual memory to get the most out of your Windows-based system. To do this, perform the following:

1. Go to Control Panel, select System, and select the Advanced tab.
2. Under Performance, click the “Settings” button and select the Advanced tab.
3. Under Virtual Memory, click the “Change” button.
4. Select “No Paging File” and press “Set,” then “OK.”

It would be a good idea to defragment your hard drive after performing this task. Defragmenting your disk places the data for your files next to each other (rather than scattered randomly throughout the disk), which speeds up reading writing to and from the disk, increasing system stability.
