No winsock no nothing, tweaked to the hilt. I used that Auto Run, which is small obscure program by a guy from Microsoft to release every non-essential .dll and file loaded possible. I then followed these to the Registry entry and deleted it as well.I used XP lite to eliminate the tie from IE, but reinstalled it as a separate program so the IE kernel is still there, but it is no longer using resources, then I eliminated anything to do with the Internet, networking, and every other non-essential program left after that.I then took an old HD and created a PF file only drive to handle page file separately from the main drive, then I set up a power cache using another program.The thing smokes! It is an underpowered Celeron 900 overclocked to 1.2 ghz, 1 gig of ram and I only use it for audio, nothing else. I run Sonar 5, but I could run 6-7, the only issue for me is I like some overhead.Then I got a LinkSys "Vista" transfer cable to complete a transfer only "network" to ship files back and forth.I record my radio show from my main analog to this computer, and transfer the finished product to the main for distribution. It works well, and since I use voip for my show, it releases my main for all out bandwidth handling. I have one computer that I use for one purpose. No winsock no nothing, tweaked to the hilt.
