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.
