How Stuff Works, for those interested.

Scuzzy, you can move this to another forum, but I'm going to prolly upset you and post it here, first. ;-)

Below are some links I harvested from a site featured on the new AHTH site (STILL under construction).
The site "HowStuffWorks.com" contains an unreal amount of valuable info on almost anything.

There is a whole Military section that may interest some.

If you have * Windows 9x or ME * you can download Gamer Kit 3.5 which handle most of the tweaks from the AHTH site. It does not handle BIOS, Video Cards, or Windows XP, in fact it is blocked from installing on Windows XP systems. You *should* notice some performance and stability increase on Win9x, ME systems.

Tweaks for most, if not all, the links below can be found on the old AHTH site. Although this data is aged a couple years it is still very useful and can still guide gamers to learn how to tweak a system. Most of the information had been archived from websites like Tweak3D, TechSpot, and WinGuides Network for Windows.
