Home Computer Audio Asylum

Music servers and other computer based digital audio technologies.

Comparison: CMP on XP Home Edition to trimmed stepped XP pro

I have just been comparing
1)the result of fully cics-optimized xp home with all boot.ini tweaks, codec disables, and minlogon but not yet with Jack's files to

2) fully optimized xp pro(except no bios refinements possible on my laptop) after 19 Steppes and all boot.ini tweaks, minlogon, reduced shell32.dll and all fishies. For unknown reason, on this second system I can't get Mikhaylov tweak 1 to work as it did in the first system so didn't do any of his.

Even before I just did minlogon, which worked first try, 1) sounded fuller and had deeper, more apparent bass. 2) had more 'air' by a bit. After minlogon, 1) is even better in these ways plus air with a clear liveness and richness advantage.

I will now try to use the reduced shell32.dll and fishy reg changes to xp home and see what that does.
