If you're really interested in faster performance, there's a couple of ways to achieve it! First you've got to do is to look over your hardware. The fastest CPU you can afford, at least 512mb of memory with the highest FSB you can use. At least two fast HD, one of them just to serve the swap file and pure storage! The fastest ATI graphics card you can afford. I say ATI because they're proven to produce better images. As to the tweaking, only registry tweaks should be used! Tweaking software is just cosmetics that will have the opposite effect ( they can also bring your whole system down ). Use windows own settings instead. Turn off cosmetics, lower the colors, clean your desktop and use nothing as background, reduce software that autostarts ( very few icons in the system tray ), shut down unnecessary services. Always keep your drives defragmented! Pages to visit http://www.theeldergeek.com/index.htmhttp://www.blackviper.com/index.htmlcheers

if optimisation and tweaks are important to you, you are using the wrong operating system  Im using Gentoo at the moment, but a few months back, i was using Linux From Scratch, optimised for size and speed, optimised my for Athlon 1.3Ghz T-bird, and all the libraries / binary's were pre-linked.... i managed to get it to boot in 6 seconds !!!!!! a 1.3Ghz athlon t-bird, 256 meg ram, old 5200rpm 6 Gigabyte hard disk... LIGHTNING !!!!!!!

Windows is pretty tweakable, but if you wanna be able to change an OS front to back, go Linux. (I use windows just because I play games on it though. But my friend modded XP so well, you couldnt tell if it was even windows or not)

well, i dont mean to crash your party here, but installing tweaks and other windows enhancers is a very bad idea...they install other programs that will give your computer viruses, get information from your computer that you might want to hide (god knows what) and put popups and annoying advertisements all over your computer as soon as you start up...trust me ive been through it and its not worth it! my comp is still loaded with popups and toolbars and stuff that wont go away...

you can delete those spywares with a spyware remover tool, or try manual tweaks in the registry

I would hope you have been smart enough to run programs like 'Ad-Aware' and 'Spybot Search & Destroy' already, but just incase you haven't, make sure you download and run these programs. These two programs will usually delete all the spyware/adware on your computer, but sometimes some of it slides through... giving you constant headaches. For these little buggers... I urge you to visit the Gladiator Security Forum. On these forums will you find a quick guide on how to properly install and run HijackThis. For a current version of HijackThis, go to THIS THREAD. Once you have downloaded and installed the program to an appropriate folder, run it and save your log. Post that log in THIS FORUM SECTION and within 24 hours you will receive instructions on how to get rid of all the baddies on your computer. These guys have saved me a couple of times already when Ad-Aware has failed me... I can almost guarantee they will get rid of your pop-ups and toolbars.

I use X-Setup . It's got a little descriptive panel and a search function which is a boon for when you remember what you want changed but don't know the exact name! Using it with "Record Mode" also allows you to roll back changes and if you want to use that particular tweak on another machine, creates a specific .REG registry file which can be merged later on.

If you want a great guide for tweaking, do not go past the excellent guide found at TweakGuides.comThis is a massive 170 page guide which I recently used to tweak my computer. I can now confidently say that my computer runs faster than ever. The best thing I found about this guide is that it explains what it is doing, rather than just telling you what settings or tweaks to do. That way you can decide by yourself what tweaks you should apply. I strongly recommend this guide for anyone formatting anytime soon, or even anyone wishing to tweak their current Windows XP.
