Windows Vista default its' settings
for hardware 5 years in the future and not optimize for
today's hardware. If you need Vista to finish your work
faster and run your software smoother, you must optimize
Vista! In this article, I will show you 5 powerful tweaks to
speed
up your computer!
Without further delay, let's get started now!
1. Use ReadyBoost - ReadyBoost improves from
virtual
memory system, although it does not
replace the system, but it does greatly enhance a limited
RAM (1 GB or less) computer overall performance. You can
speed up your Vista overall performance up to 50% by using a
memory
stick. You may also unplug and use the
memory stick to transfer data between computers, when you
re-plug the memory stick back to your computer, Vista will
resume ReadyBoost and the restore the performance again!
2. Reduce and reschedule start up programs and services -
You need to reduce the start up programs and background
services to its' minimum, disabled anything you do not need.
If some how you need those programs during startup, you can
reschedule it with a lower priority and attach it to 1 of
the multi processes.
The command is something like this: C:Windows System32 cmd.
exe /c start "title" /MIN {/LOW|/BELOWNORMAL|/NORMAL|/ABOVENORMAL|/HIGH|/
REALTIME} /AFFINITY {1,2,4,8 or Add Up} "directoryprogram.
exe" program_parameters.
3. Turn off Remote Differential Compression and
TCP Auto Tuning - Vista uses them to
enhance the gigabyte network, but these features introduced
too much overheads for normal networking. You can restore
networking speed up to 30% faster by disabled it.
4. Defrag hard disk and boot up files - You should disable
schedule defrag and do it manually. Try to download and
install a faster third party disk defragmenter.
To defrag your boot up files (page file, hibernate file),
you should acquire something like PerfectDisk or Diskeeper.
Howerver, the cheapest solution is to download the FREE
TuneXP, and use only the "Ultra fast booting" function.
TuneXp is not fully compatible, but this feature still works
very well.
5. Disable the system restore - System restore was first
introduced in Windows XP, and Vista enhance it further with
document versioning! As good as its' sound, this does not
come free!
To best utilize the resources, you do not want duplicates on
your computer, unless the resources is too much to you! Then
forget about optimize Vista.
If you already applied these tweaks, your Vista should be
50% faster than before.
