Ok well i have teamed up with mymemory to offer visitors of the site the best prices on memory for the phone i was very satisfied with there service when i recently purchased a 1gb minisd card.

So after speaking to them they are going to allow me to add an advert to there site here

Speed up Internet Explorer on WM5

One of the most common and effective tweaks for web browsers on the desktop is also possible for IE on WM5. Stored in the registry are two keys which tell Internet Explorer how many connections it should make to a server when downloading a web page. They define the “Maximum number of concurrent connections” and they’re just itching for a tune-up.

Details after the jump…

By changing the following key:

HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Internet Explorer/Main/MaxRequestThreads = 5

to a value higher than the default (5) will enable greater bandwidth saturation during page download and a noticable improvement in page load time. I took a guess and raised the MaxThreads to 10 and have had no problems (thus far).

[Update] Also, you will want to add the dword value:

HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Internet Explorer/Main/MaxConnectionsPerServer

and set it to the same value as you choose for MaxRequestThreads.

But, obviously, nothing is free in life. Here’s the hitch: threads use memory. No matter what value you raise the the MaxThreads to, you’re going to be using some amount more memory than you were before. It’s a tradeoff. So don’t go crazy and set that value to 200 and complain when starting IE causes your phone to burst into flames.
