After installing windows Vista SP1 and all the Drama that followed, I took some steps that helped Boost the performance of my Vista PC. One thing to note is that although my PC runs a new operating system, its an old PC which I have upgraded several times.

1. I Turned of Aero

   Aero is that pointless thing that makes the windows transparent in windows. Right click on the desktop click Personalize>Windows colour and Appearance>turn of transparency.

2. I sorted Out my Start Menu

        Any program that didn't need to start (and most of them don't) I took out.

3. I updated/verified all all my drivers

   Just open up your command prompt. And type in "Verifier" this will run the Hidden driver verify manager which will detect and solve all your problems!

4. I Defragmented my External and internal Hard drives.

5. I used the ready Boost feature

   This is probably one of the most innovative things in Windows Vista. It enables you to use spare flash memory on USB 2.0 drives Or SD cards to offset some computer Processes and take some pressure of a Struggling RAM.
