Speed up Vista?

Topics Windows Vista on August 14th, 2007

As with XP, in Vista you can up performance by sacrificing the visual effects. Go to the , System and Maintenance, System Properties, Advanced (Tab) and settings. Set the radio button in ‘Adjust for best performance’.

This may produce a marginal improvement on a low spec machine, but it I could not detect a faster response on a machine with a 1.2 Ghz processor and 2GB of RAM. In truth, I was under-whelmed by this Adjust for best performance. A better way to truly up your Vista machine is to buy a 1GB USB RAM stick and use Vista’s feature.

Trap: As you adjust for best performance, you may inadvertently turn off the graphics, particularly if you experiment with the Custom settings.

    You are correct. I found that when I turned off all the pretty stuff on my PC,,, Vista actually went slower.
    2GB of ram works better than 1. But use no more than 3 GB of ram or you will be wasting it on Vista.
