taken from mackanz's 3dmark guide:

Run regedit and go to: HKLM/system/currentcontrolset/control/session manager/memory management and set the disableexecutivepaging(This has caused bootproblems for some members, be aware) to =1, Largesystemcache=1(this has also caused problems for some members, be aware), IOpagelocklimit=16384 in decimal, Secondleveldatacache=256 or the same as your L2 cache size in decimal.
Reboot and run regedit again and go to HKLM and turn off the fileprotection:
Software/Microsoft/windowsNT/currentversion/winlogon and change the value of SFCDisable to REG_DWORD “ffffff9d”.
Reboot windows and turn off OS2 and POSIX servers by finding and delete following files: OS2.exe, OS2SRV.exe, PSXSS.exe, OS2SS.exe and POSIX.exe.
In system.ini , add the following line under 386enh: ConservativeSwapfileUsage=1

are these still the best performance tweaks for win2k? its just that his guide (at the top of this forum) is kinda old, so I wanted to see what u guys tweak.

I found that the disablepagingexecutive=1 caused instability on my system. did it for any of u? and should I still set the "IOpagelocklimit to 16384 in decimal" or is there a better setting?

Im trying to break 22k in 3dmark, so any tips are greatly appreciated. :)
