How To Turn Off Vista's Useless Junk And Speed Up Your PC

,----[ Quote ]
| I am currently receiving a measure of vindication as more and more people are 
| finding stubborn and often insurmountable problems with drivers, 
| applications, and worst of all, the sheer sluggishness of this monstrous OS 
| which requires a jaw-dropping 15GB of free hard drive space just to install. 
| And if you ever want to uninstall it, you're better off just reformatting the 
| disk or you'll be weeks just trying to put all the pieces back together.     
| 
| [...]
| 
| If you were stupid enough to buy Vista, do something smart for a change! Go 
| check out that website and start turning off all that useless OS junk!

Testing Vista's different memory configurations 

,----[ Quote ]
| You simply cannot play games on Vista with 512MB o memory, at least not the 
| games wen tested. You will sometimes get playable scores but even then the 
| experience and the load time will be ridiculous.
| 
| Anything more than 512MB will help you a lot, with 2x1GB being the best 
| price performance buy.
| 
| 4x1GB is the best choice for best raw performance. It is hard to prove it
| ^^^^^ 
| in every test, but if you have 2x1GB and you load as much in memory, the 
|                                ^^^^^
| system will become endessly slow.

| but that's exactly what some Windows Vista users have been experiencing when 
| running some of the latest games.
