Does WindowsXP x64 have the ability to prefetch?
Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters
Modify/Create the Value Data Type(s) and Value Name(s) as detailed below.
Data Type: DWORD Value // Value Name: EnablePrefetcher
Setting for Value Data: [0 = Disabled / 1 = Application Launch Prefetch / 2 = Boot Prefetch / 3 = Prefetch All]
Exit Registry and Reboot
I have had setting 3 on for a while now but my prefetch folder is empty...
Windows 2003 x64 also seems to ignore this setting (Ryan from extended64.com checked for me)
Does the standard windows 2003 have it, is there usually any downside to not having it ?
