Unlock hidden speed in Windows XP

Windows XP systems retain 20% of system bandwidth for security and stability. For the average individual user, this is obviously a bit conservative, wasting valuable network bandwidth. So how do you get back to this part of the resources? System optimization techniques teach you this method:

Bandwidth is the difference between the highest frequency and the lowest frequency that a communication signal can use. We know that the wider a road, the greater the traffic that can be passed per unit of time. If the transmission rate of the network signal is compared to the traffic flow, the bandwidth is equivalent to the width of the road. Therefore, modifying the original settings of the Windows XP system and fully exploiting the 20% bandwidth potential will maximize the speed of the Internet.

To modify the Windows XP system, the method is as follows:

1. Click Start → Run, type: gpedit.msc, and click the [OK] button, you can see Figure 1 Group Policy window.

2. Under the "Computer Configuration" item, click Open: Administrative Templates - Network - QoS Packet Scheduler; then on the right side of the window, find "Restrictions" You can reserve the bandwidth", right click on the item; in the pop-up menu, click "Properties", you will see the "Limit Retainable Bandwidth Properties" window shown in Figure 2.

3. In the "Settings" tab we can see that the default "bandwidth limit" value for Windows XP is 20%. Change it to 0 or a smaller number such as 5%, click the "Enabled" radio button; then click the [OK] button to save the new settings to your computer.
