Seconded on the prefetch thing-- people don't know what the crap they're talking about when they write "speed up" guides. Most are balonely.

Another thing guides get wrong is the "turn off last access date".. really, go do some tests with that on and then off, and let me know how much faster your system is. Oh wait, it isn't. And you've now lost the ability to see when files are added/removed from a windows share. Congrats!
