XP Speed Secret #1: Disable Extra Startup Programs
There are certain programs that Windows will start every time you boot up your system, and during the startup phase, they're all competing for a slice of your CPU speed. Extra or unwanted items in the startup list will definitely increase your startup time, perhaps by several minutes. Some common examples are things related toAOL, RealPlayer, Napster, instant messengers, and video managers. If you're not sure about an item, no big deal. You can turn it off, restart your PC, and see if everything seems to work. If not, you can always go back and re-enable an item in the Startup list. This tip alone should speed up your start-up by 250%. Here are is what you have to do:
Go to Start button
Have you scanned your system for spyware, adware and other unwanted pests? 1 of 6 computers has some sort of Spyware or Malware! They dramatically slow down your computer because they use resources to generate popup ads, send spam, and often interfere with the operation of good programs.If you haven’t scanned recently, we recommend a free scan from a good anti-spyware program. We prefer to use stand-alone, high quality anti-spyware programs like XoftSpy Pro, which give us the ability to scan and repair these problems in seconds.FINAL NOTE: Recent testing has shown that stand-alone programs do a much better job than the “all-in-one” packages (eg. Norton Internet Security) at detecting spyware, adware, and malware.
Windows XP can look sexy but displaying all the visual items can waste system resources. To optimize:
Click the Start button
You may have noticed that every time you open “My Computer” to browse folders that there is a slight delay. This is because Windows XP automatically searches for network files and printers every time you open Windows Explorer. To fix this and to increase browsing speed significantly:
Double-click on My Computer
Page file size is not constant by default. Due to this, the operating system has to resize the file each time more space is required. This is a performance overhead. All you have to do is to set the file size to a reasonable limit.
Follow the steps:
If you have less than 512MB of memory, leave the page file at its default size. If you have 512MB or more, change the ratio to 1:1 page file size to physical memory size.Click Set, then OK buttons to apply the changes.
Of course, the fastest and easiest way to speed-up your computer is to allow a software program to do it for you! Although you will findthat all of the adjustments in this book will speed up your system, the most effective and easiest way to give your computer blazingspeed is to clean up your system’s Registry. Your computer is like your car: it needs periodic maintenance to keep it running at optimum performance. Installing and un-installing programs, surfing the Internet, emailing, and other everyday activities create a sort of “sludge” that builds up in your computerover time, much like an automobile engine. After a while, it doesn't startup like when it was new, it stalls unexpectedly, and performanceis sluggish on the (information) highway. We strongly recommend running a free Registry scan to find out how many errors you computer is hiding from you. Your computer will likely have hundreds of Registry errors that are dramatically slowing down the potential speed and performance.
Both Windows and application programs tend to leave temporary files lying around on your hard drive, taking up space. A hard drive that is close to being “full” can cause Windows to slow down or interfere with efficient disk access and virtual memory operations. If you surf the web a lot, your temporary internet files folder canbecome quite large, causing Internet Explorer to slow down or malfunction. Cleaning up unneeded files, scanning for disk errorsand defragmenting the hard drive can help to restore some zip to your system. Try to run once a month for peak performance.
Double-click the My Computer icon.
Access (DMA)Right-click on My Computer, select PropertiesSelect the Hardware tabClick the Device Manager buttonDouble-click IDE/ATAPI controllersDouble-click on the Primary IDE ChannelClick on the Advanced Settings tab (as shown in figure) The tab may or may not be available for each option. It is only available in Primary and Secondary Channels.
Indexing Services is a small little program that uses large amounts of memory and can often make a computer endlessly loud and noisy. This system process indexes and updates lists of all the files that are on your computer. It does this so that when you do a search for something on your computer, it will search faster by scanning theindex lists. If you don’t search your computer often, this system service is completely unnecessary. To disable do the following:
Click Start button
You may have a bunch of software packages on your hard drive that are no longer needed, or they were gratuitously installed when you downloaded some other package. Toolbars, file-sharing programs, free email enhancers, online shopping "companions" and download managers are notorious for this practice. These uninvited guests can put a big drag on your startup time, cause web pages to load slowly, and generally bog down your computer.
Click Start buttonSelect Control PanelDouble-click Add/Remove Programs iconSee what programs are installed that you don’t typically useSelect the Remove button for the ones you know you don't needIf you’re unsure about some programs, do a web search to learn about the ones that you need to keep.

Nah Versi mana yang sesuai dengan Komputer Anda silahkan Download lewat Torrent atau Rapidshared.
Penting !!!!!!
Backup data Anda sebelum melakukan instalasi Mac OS X.
Step 2
Kesuksesan instalasi ini sangat dipengaruhi oleh setting bios komputer. Rubah seting bios seperti pada gambar di bawah ini (Untuk Mobo Asus P5K).
Simpan seting bios Anda dan Lanjutkan ke Step Berikutnya.
Step 3
Siapkan DVD Mac OS X yang telah Anda Download, Masukkan ke DVD Drive dan Boot menggunakan DVD. Tentunya seting bios telah Anda rubah dari boot from HD ke Boot from CD/DVD.Tekan F8 saat Darwin Loading (counter), pada (Boot :) ketik -v untuk melacak jalannya instalasi atau ketik vanilla lalu tekan enter. Jika Ada kesalahan atau instalasi berhenti, catat errornya, dan lihat solusinya di sini atau lewat search Engine / wiki. Kembali ke Instalasi. Jika proses instalasi awal darwin normal, maka akan berhenti pada pilihan Bahasa. Pilih bahasa yang Anda pilih dan klik --->. Klik Continue pada Halaman Welcome. Lalu Klik Agree pada halaman License Agreement.
Step 4
Nah pada step ini kita akan memulai menginstall Mac ke drive tujuan. Pilih drive mana Mac akan di instal. jika belum ada drive di windows tersebut klik Utilities - pilih Disk Utilities.pada langkah ini Anda di haruskan memilih Drive untuk tujuan instalasi Mac. Pilih Drive Anda (dalam hal ini saya memilih Leopard). Klik Erase. Pilih Mac Os Extended (journaled). Menu Security options disini berhubungan dengan proses Erase dimana data pada HD Anda akan dihapus total atau tidak (pada Xp Quick format). Pilih salah satu item, dan masing-masing item membutuhkan prose Erase yang berbeda waktunya. Klik Erase. Setelah selesai proses erase, tutup windows Disk Utilities. Pada windows pilihan drive akan muncul drive yang Anda erase tadi. Pilih drive tersebut dimana drive tersebut untuk tujuan instalasi Mac. Klik Continue. Custumize adalah pilihan software OSX yang akan di install, pilihlah seperti pada gambar, kecuali Anda yakin dengan pilihan Anda. Lalu klik continue. Proses install mulai, klik Skip untuk menghentikan proses cek DVD instalasi.
Nah... Proses instalasi Mac akan berjalan kurang lebih sekitar 18-25 menit. Duduk santai dan nikmati kopi dan rokok Anda.
Step 5
Klik restart setelah prose instalasi selesai. Biarkan Leopard boot lewat HD sendiri. Jangan rubah dulu biosnya dan jangan ambil dulu master DVD MAcnya. Anda akan menuju ke pilihan/deteksi keyboard. Klik ok. Turuti perintah Mac dengan menekan tombol Shift. Jika keyboard Anda tidak dikenali, maka Mac akan otomatis memilihkan keyboard yang sesuai dengan Keyboard Anda. Disini saya memilih Keyboard ANSI. Klik Continue. Pilih tempat/negara Anda klik Continue.
Ikuti Proses Registrasi Mac OSx. Terakhir klik Done. Mac Osx siap berjalan di PC Anda. Selamat memulai OS baru yang lain dari yang lain.
Jika Anda menyukai Mac OS, jangan membajak. Kasihan Apple, ratusan orang bekerja untuk OS ini, sementara mereka hanya membajak. Belilah CD MAC Original. Kalau harganya mahal, setidaknya belilah License-nya.
