hi, im new here but i jsut realized that vista is running ALOT of files (about 40 or 50) i have a dual core processor, and 1gb of ram (getting more soon) but i was wondering if there is a list or a link to a reliable guide or whatever of the services you DO NOT NEED? my pc feels slow to me :(

Wow, only 1GB of memory? On which hard drive is Windows installed?

[sputnio]

the 250gb one

Put Windows on the Raptor. It has much better seek times.

And you'll want more RAM for Ultimate. Definitely.

alright thanks =]

im getting a few new things at the end of summer or near october and 2gb of ram is in it =]

are there any ways to transfer vista (or any operating system) to another hard drive without having to reinstall it? >.>

I don't know much about actually doing it, but there are programs you can use to image the hard drive or Windows installation. Norton Ghost, for example.
