OK, I just got Vista x64 Ultimate (SP1) and got it on my sig rig. Is there any hotfixes or updates/software I should get to make sure I'm getting the best performance out of it?

I know there was some hotfix awhile back for ATI cards or something. Any performance fixes like that aside from what I'm getting in Windows Update?

****, i saw this topic and for some reason i thought it said "OK, So i just got aids"

Just disable crap like UAC for faster boot times disable some stuff in msconfig and enable both cores for booting, i close security center as well

Any details more than that?

How do I enable both cores for booting?

Use the Microsoft updater to auto-find any updates. Install them, restart, and search for updates again. Keep doing it until it finds no more updates. Also, check computer properties (right click My Computer>Properties) and check when your license expires. When I first installed, it kept it in Evaluation Mode (30-day trial thing)until I re-entered the serial number. Look online for Vista tweak guides too.
