Hello All,
----------------------------------------Just curios if anyone has ever done this. Since going into safe mode is supposed to only use the most minimal amount of drivers would booting in safe mode with networking enabled increase cpu speed because there are less items eating up its usage? I have not done this, but was curios if anyone else has done this and their impressions of it. Thanks  |

Hmm, I guess when you put it that way Scribe that does sound like quite a stupid idea :-/
----------------------------------------I guess my thoughts were that it would be possible to turn on those services after booting up windows (firewall and anti-virus). Unless in your opinion it would just bee too much of a headache and not worth the whatever performance boost I think I might achieve from it. |

If your CPU supports 64-bit then you can just install a 64 bit Linux Distro (Lubuntu for instance) and the FAHV (Vina app) will run a lot faster (50% or so).
