How to Speed up Vista

Windows Vista is great, but heavy when it comes to hardware resources.

So, how do you speed up your Windows Vista system?

First you add more ram, if this isn’t enough you buy a better hard disk (with 8mb or 16mb of cache).

If you don’t want to spend all that money, you should follow the next steps to tweak and improve your Windows Vista performances. On small PCs, less is more:

1st option is to strip Windows Vista manually:

1. Lose What You Don’t Need
2. Keep your drivers fresh
3. Hose Out the Background
4. Use ReadyBoost
5. Speed Up the Interface
6. Miscellaneous Hacks
7. Defrag Once in a While

2nd option (my favorite) use TweakVI for Windows Vista:

TweakVI was designed for easy tweaking an optimizing a Windows Vista based computer.

You will need hours to browse through all the features of TweakVI:

• Activate hundreds of hidden Windows Vista settings
• clean your registry
• activate system and software restrictions
• display detailed system information
• create a 256 MB RAM drive
• protect your privacy

• you can even transfer your tweaks and settings to other machines!
