[QUOTE="mdsflyer, post: 137061, member: 16262"] Hi there, a question for those of you who know more about this stuff than me (this would be most of you reading this thread!). I have a dedicated HTPC which i have been tinkering with over the last few days to generally streamline its operation. Lots of websites out there offering advice and i've done the usual switching off of unneeded services (automatic updates, indexing etc, etc,). Whilst hunting around i came across the setting that i've titled this thread. First click on the System icon in the Control Panel. Next, click on the Advanced tab. Then performance settings and again advanced. This brings up a page with the option to adjust the processor scheduling to give best performance for background services or programs. By default it is selected to programs but i am going to try the background services option given the nature of the whole new tv engine. Is this a bad idea ? (I operate 1 PC as the server/client and 2 laptops as clients, i would be making this change on the server/client pc only) Of course the proof will be in the pudding but i thought someone out there might also like to try and others may already know the effect. :thx: Cheers m [/QUOTE]
