    CPU Priority

    Got from: http://members.home.net/dnysveen/tweak1.htm

    CPU Priority is a setting in the registry that adjusts the amount of CPU cycles that the background and foreground applications recieve. To set the foreground application for more CPU cycles and better performance go into the registry then HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\VxD\BIOS. If the key bios is not in your registry, you will need to create it. Now in the key Bios add the Dwords CPUPriority, PCIConcur, FastDRAM, and AGPConcur. Set each one to Decimal Values and 01.

    Conclusion

    This CPU priority tweak helps overall system performance a lot. CPU priority is totally safe and works on 90% of all computers. So why not give it a try.

    Dude, that is a great tweak. But you can get same tweak I think if you use the X-Setup http://www.xteq.com/ tweak proggie. It's probably safer for most peeps to use that than get into the registry though. Hehe, just one wrong keystroke and WHAM!

    That hack actually works good, my UT flyby socres went up from 62-63 to 67-68 fps on a PIII700@866mhz/192mb/2-V2's.
    Overall much better, haven't noticed any ill affects
