Winuae - Dedicated amiga emulation pc - Optimizations?

[haywirepc]

I have a dedicated amiga emulation pc consisting of an amd 1400mhz pc with a good gpu equipped graphics card and 512 megs ram.
 
Can someone post some tips on optimizing winuae for best performance for this setup? The system boots to windows but I removed windows shell, logon screens and assorted windows nonsense with a help file provided by a user here...
 
The system appears to boot straight to amiga os 3.x provided by amiga forever. You would not even really know windows was underneath unless you ctrl-alt-deleted and got to whats behind amiga os 3.x
 
Everything seems to be working nice, but I'd like to tune the config file for max performance... I'm sure I'm not the only one using a pc like this, so please let me know if your doing the same what you do to maximize available resources to the amiga os... And minimize windows part in the setup except as a background host.
 
All is working well but screen redraws a bit slow under heavy multitasking and I'd like to do all I can to maximize the system for amiga os use.
 
Any help or thoughts on this type of setup would be greatly appreciated...

I would have preferred to use the kxlight install, but it defaults to 800x600 max screen resolution. Someone told me thats an easy fix, just edit the xorg.conf file but I didn't have a linux boot disk around to do that...
 
This setup with windows xp works great, especially once the logon/logoff and splash screens are removed, you wouldn't even know its on a windows pc. Also, I like having the option of using FIREFOX or internet explorer on the windows side if I want to, and being able to load adf files with winuae is nice since I can't read or write real amiga floppies (yet)
 
I may get a catweasel for this setup...
 
The other option you showed I haven't seen before, looks cool I will check it out...

I agree winuae beats the linux version by far in my opinion, which is another reason I choise winxp/winuae. I have uae on my linux box its fine for some things, but for a dedicated amiga machine I think winuae and xp is the best option.
 
I have stripped my vanilla xp install of most things that are not core components, disk space is not really an issue, but I wanted to be sure xp wasn't taking any resources it did not really need.
 
I have a pretty vanilla os3.9 setup now, I have alot of work to do to the system installing stuff, that should keep me pretty busy for awhile.
I'd really like to add a catweasel,I have alot of amiga discs that are sitting in boxes...
