"To boost dramatically your CPU priority in Windows 9x/ME for higher performance, run Regedit and go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\control\PriorityControl Create the "PriorityControl" Registry subkey if not present: right-click in the left hand pane -> select New -> Key. Name this new subkey "PriorityControl" (no quotes) -> click OK or press Enter.Highlight this new subkey -> create a new DWORD Value called "IRQ#Priority": right-click in the right hand pane -> -> create a New DWORD Value named "IRQ#Priority" -> click OK -> double-click on it -> check the Decimal box -> type 1 to turn it on -> click OK or press Enter.To get the actual IRQ# go to: Control Panel -> System -> Device Manager -> System Devices -> System CMOS/real time clock -> Properties -> Resources tab -> default IRQ# is 8 on all IBM PC clones [yours included

]. Therefore you need to rename the DWORD above to read "IRQ8Priority" (no quotes).Close Regedit and restart Windows to see the effect."

Lobo should i set to 0 or 1 if i use windows 98

jpv1 · Post by **jpv1** » Fri Oct 26, 2001 6:50 pm

Lobo i tried setting to decimal but when i check it again it goes back to hexadecimal. Does this make a difference?

Yes. It does make a difference, different numbers equals different results.
