Myth #1 - One click and done!

Myth #3 - You computer will be faster.

However, Vista is running faster, but not your computer. Your PC will always be the same, but saving the resources for Vista and its' application makes overall performance on Windows faster. If you are enthusiast enough, strip everything else and kept only the core. You might lose comfort to your Windows but gain enormous performance over it.

Myth #4 - More RAM more speed.

This is a bell curve situation, where your RAM amount reached the peak of your needs, it starts to stabilize and drop in performance when application requires more processing power than memory. That is why Vista pre-cache application in memory to accelerate the launch time and speed, it assumed you have more memory than your application needed. For the low memory system, caching will become a nightmare, because no more room for application to run, and Vista needs to use virtual memory such as page file and ReadyBoost to run the application.

You need to try and record each tuning steps to confirm the effectiveness. To save more time on tuning rather than myth, you may want to try "Unleash Vista Power Advance Guide".
