vista logoWindows 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
  • clean your harddrive
  • manage TrueType fonts
  • improve your internet connection
  • optimize your CPU
  • optimize your RAM
  • manage system updates, and much more …
  • you can even transfer your tweaks and settings to other machines!

    I found my biggest performance gain on Vista came from diabling the Windows Search/Indexing tool from within Services. I had used perfmon which showed that sucker hammering away whilst I was trying to perform other tasks. There must be a bug in the logic that tells it what to do and when.
    Surprisingly searches are no slower.
    I also have nearly 2gb of disk back from being able to delete its files!
