With every release of a new operating system come new demands and Windows Vista is by large no exception to this rule.

There are several relevant components to the Windows memory subsystem. In this guide we will put special emphasis on the hard drive, processor and RAM, taking you through a variety of settings to optimally configure these and hopefully end up with an overall smoother running system.

Note: Most of the information and setting modifications covered here will require Administrative privileges.

Worth noting that there's nothing here most users should be changing, except the hard drive performance check.

The registry changes listed in the article, although explained relatively well, either provide no performance benefit, or are actually harmful to performance.
