A few years back I read a guide on optimizing XP and 2000 by a guy named Ned Pyle. He talked about pagefile configuration, leaving a partition the size of your pagefile and creating a new pagefile on that. Formatting that to Fat 16 to increase speed. Suggestions on which services to disable.
Basically I was wondering if anyone knows of a site that may have tips on optimizing a clean Vista 64 Home Premium install. (or if you have any).
As a side note I may not be able to use the disk I have because it came with a prebuilt and I will need to call CS on that. The reason I mention that is because if I need to buy a new OS should I just go with Win 7? The machine is for gaming and movies...with internet surfing, email and the like.
Thanks in advance for your time.
