Choose “Disable All” on the bottom right corner. Check the box at the bottom to “hide all Microsoft Services”Ĥ. ** NOTE: after doing this Pro Tools users must check the box for “Digidesign MME Binder”**ģ. " Go to the Startup Tab and choose ‘disable all’ in the bottom right corner. (not a controlled shut-down of the computer). Go to the Policies tab and check the boxes to “Enable write caching” and “Turn off Windows write-cache buffer flushing”" Well, if you ever lose power and you do not have an un-interruptible power supply, data will be scrambled on the hard disk if working on something using the hard disk and the power goes off. For all of your hard drives, right click on the drive name and select Propertiesģ. In Device Manager open the Disk Drives menu.Ģ. This helps alleviate poor hard drive performance.
I do get some hesitations in screen redraws and the start of playback in larger projects, sometimes, if I forget to kill all those background apps and TSRs first, but it would still be usable honestly. But with 4 cores 2.7+ Ghz, with 8GB of RAM and almost 400GB of free on a 500GB drive (SONAR and Windows are only 2 major installs on my laptop) - X3d runs pretty good anyway. It may be as smooth without doing all of that - but I am old school and tend to turn off everything I can when I need to make sure that the computer needs to run as smooth as possible. Does this all help? I don't know, I certainly haven't benchmarked it at all, but my copy of SONAR runs good on my system with very few pops here and there when live playing/recording (that never translate to a mix-down anyway) by doing this.

My Win install has 100+ processes shown at startup and I am well below 100 by the time I am ready to start SONAR. I turn off a lot of stuff - my touchpad (I have a mouse plugged-in), iTunes, onboard soundcard, WiFi, Bluetooth, anything Adobe, it's a pretty big list.
#5 in that list (Deactivate Devices in the Windows Device Manager) is what I was harping on, and as riojazz says, is more tweaking than genuine "optimizing".
