Project Vista 64 Ultimate Performance Tweak

[fallenzeraphine]

Vista is the Latest version of the Microsoft's Windows line of Operating systems, And its not a secret that it is a Huge system Resource hog, Most of which caused By Literary Hundreds of Unwanted background services. This Project is a attempt to make the 64Bit version of Vista As Fast as possible, hopefully bringing it close to the Performance of Windows XP SP3 We love so much (At least I do, and all performance freaks do). This is a Ongoing project and will be constantly Updated as I gather more information, and do experiments on how to Optimize Vista to behave as fast as possible.

~2008-10-06~

* Installed Vista 64 SP1 with all the current Updates, Vista was installed on the Last partition of the Primary hard Drive of my system, First Partition Contained a Windows XP SP3 Installation, After Installing Vista It was Unable to Boot to XP, Because Vista didn't recognize where my XP installation was so I had to Insert them to the BCD (Boot Configuration Database) Manually. The following commads Will be useful to you if you encounter a Issue such as this.

BCDEDIT.exe is the tool to edit the BC database, its located in Windows\system32 folder

BCDEDIT /set - This command can set a entry option value
Ex : BCDEDIT /set {current} Device partition=C: This example sets the Device value of the Current boot options Entry to Partition C:

BCDEDIT /Delete - This command can delete a BCD entry
Ex: BCDEDIT /Delete {current} /cleanup This example will delete the Current Boot entry and remove it from boot options menu.

You can read the complete command Guide of BCDEDIT from this Microsoft document. Download

This is how it looked after i disabled Themes service completely..its still using a lot of RAM

~2008-10-07~

* Stopped these services, and found that they don't affect my normal operations at all.

* Diagnostic Policy Service
* Distributed Link Tracking Client
* IP Helper
* Messenger Sharing Folders USN Journal Reader Service
* Network List Service
* Offline Files
* Print Spooler
* Readyboost
* Remote Access Connection
* Server
* Tablet PC Input Service

Hey guys, i have 5gb of ram installed at the moment on XP 32bit OS. After a googling for sometime; found out that i had to move to a 64bit OS to get the maximum out of the ram as 32bit sups only 3.5gb of ram max. I mostly use multimedia apps such as PS, Illustrator, Premier Pro, After Effects etc..

1)Will it be a good move for me to switch to the 64bit OS?

2) Shall I go for Xp or Vista?

Sorry 1GB RAM is not enough for Vista... it'll be enough if u just wanna install it and just look at it

in Vista, you can use your PC for daily simple works such as watching Movies, listen Songs, Word Doc & Simple Spreadsheet etc;
ah! you can use PS CS1 also

don't ruin your PC if you expect more
