To save any one else reading time, its been pretty much established that, beyond a common sense setup theres not much one can do to "Tweak" the OS into anything special. Thanks for the replies for those that have!

Hey guys, first off apologies if this is like the 1 millionth thread about this, I didn't see it in the FAQ or any stickies. Any how I seem to recall a while ago stumbling across a nice guide that some one had written about doing a fresh install of XP pro with some useful tips on what steps to take to get max performance out of it.
I've already read the page file thread which takes care of one of the areas I recall being important, but I have had little luck with google (a rarity for me since I'm usually pretty good at finding things). So with all my resources exhausted I'm making this thread.
Any links or general comments on how to get optimal performance out of it would be appreciated. I'm not exactly a novice but since I'm actually setting up a full blown gaming rig this time around I figured I would ask and see if there were some pointers.
At some point I'll swap to vista but I'm holding back because of the aggravating mandatory software updates that will cost me a small fortune that I can't spend right after getting a new rig.
Thanks for your time!
Happy Holidays!
