5 Ways to Speed up Vista

Posted in Geeky, Howto, Tech by Jon at 3:15 pm

From Fun Tech Talk; going through 5 simple things that can be modified in Vista to speed up performance significantly. These include:

1. Turning off Remote Differential Compression
2. Turning off Windows Search Indexing
3. Adding a 2GB flash drive to use ‘Ready Boost’
4. Disabling Automatic Disk Defragmentation
5. Shutting off Windows Hibernation

Although I have little [read: no] experience with Vista, these do seem like easy tasks to gain some speed boosts on one behemoth of an OS.
