    goto:// start / accessories/ command prompt/ type regedit enter/ edit search secondlevel/ change from 0 to read below

    l1+l2+l3 in calculator mine is 3080 chang secondlevel data cache to 3080 if thats what it is and if your unsure google notebookcheck your cpu and it should display your l1 l2 l3 cach sizes make sure you add and change it to whatever and make sure its in decimal or you will get to high of a value

    This sounds like all those claims of driver tweaks during install that are accessible through settings or detrimental to image quality. Do you really think Microsoft (or nvidia for that matter) wouldn't already do this if it was universally giving an gargantuan optimization like this? Those guys bust their butts just trying to eek out 1% gains.

    And asking for rep and assuming we're thanking your genius is a sure fire way to make sure I give none.

    No and no. And it's spelled you 're. Also, sentences start with capital letters. If you're going to beg, at least have the dignity to do it with proper grammar.

    Well OP seems to have forgotten a few other performance enhancing tricks, such as

    Automatically increase your FPS in any game by 100% by using the shortcut alt + f4

    Increase the storage space of your hard drive by 100% by running command line format c:

    And of course, always remember the best way to clean your laptop is to run it through the dishwasher at high temps.

    I swear, some people's children....

    Do you not think windows would change this automatically if it had any effect? The setting is developed by ms, MS can read the cache info so could change it.

    These placebos are a joke.
