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.
