Default You Vista Pros..I need advice Please
Hi Folks,

I'm gonna reformat later today(Vista Home Premium) on my Lappy.
Any optimization tips, I want the bare minimum OS that will scream along.
Links and known working tweaks will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

To answer most of your questions: (1) a fridge cannot cool a PC (2) 64-bit OS for over 3.4GB (3) If a PCIe card fits, it will work (4) Resolution, not screen size (5) If you have a question, it is not news (6) Report, not respond to Spam (7) Single/Non-Modular Rail PSUs are NOT better than Multi-Rail/Modular

Going to agree with you, If you want a fast OS don't install Vista. Even with tweaks it takes about 3x more then XP.

Hmmm...

Yea... The only reason I purchased Vista was for DX10. I didn't buy this 8800GTS for nothing.

Too bad I'm having a PAIN IN THE ASS time installing Vista.
