With the ending of an era with Windows XP we are all going to have to get used to Windows Vista. But one main complaint I hear from users and potential users is the worry with the speed of Vista, or the lack of speed by Vista.
Many people want a super fast operating system but unless you have a ultra fast PC then you may experience a slower operating system in Vista than you did in XP. Here are some tips and tweaks you can do to optimize your PC so that it will be much faster using Windows Vista;
RAM
With Windows Vista you need to increase your RAM over what you where using in Windows XP, I would suggest you use at least 2GB of RAM but the more the faster!
Clean Your Registry
Like in Windows XP your Vista registry can become blocked up so quickly that it will dramatically slow down your computer, so run this scan and improve your Vista’s speed – run a free vista registry scan.
ReadyBoost
ReadyBoost is a new but innovative feature on Vista, essentially you can use any data stick to increase your RAM. To run ReadyBoost just insert a flash drive and select ReadyBoost.
Turn Off Aero
If you do not have massive RAM or are running a top quality video card then you should turn off Aero Glass. To turn off Aero read this post – Turn Off Aero
Remove Spyware and Adware
Yes.. Windows Vista can be hit by spyware and adware! Well that isn’t a huge shock but the reality is that although the safety features in Windows Vista have been improved over XP the adware guys have also improved. So get yourself a Spyware and Adware scanner to remove all nasties and to prevent them coming back.
Upgrade Your Drivers
If you upgraded your computer from XP to Vista then you will need to also update all your drivers. Just run this scan and it can update all your Vista drivers for you – Update Your Drivers
