I was wondering, would the program run much faster if I had no other programs running? (like internet explorer.) Also would it run faster if I went offline?
Just a few questions for you experts.

On an AMD rig you need to check and see if your chip has the SSE instruction set. If it does, use the 3.25 beta client. Set it up and then creat a shortcut put the shortcut in your start up folder and add the following to the instruction line, -advmethods -forceasm There is a sticky thread with pictures at Sharkys.
