Optimizing Your Computer for Proteus X

Windows: The following suggestions can help you configure your windows machine for
optimal performance. Since systems vary, we recommend that you note the original
settings of any system parameters you alter so that you can restore them in the event that
unexpected problems occur as you seek to optimize your system for Proteus X:
• Seriously consider dedicating a computer as your audio workstation. This
computer can be optimized for best audio performance.
• If possible, avoid assigning slower devices to the IDE controller used by your
audio drive.
• Get the fastest hard disk drive you can afford, as this is the single most important
component affecting Proteus X performance. Many drives now offer an 8MB
data buffer, which can also improve performance.
• Defragment your hard drive often.
• Perform a "clean" install of your operating system with only the minimum compo-
nents and programs installed.
• Use the System Restore feature of Windows XP or other restoration program such
®
as "Ghost to keep your system uncluttered and fast.
