NBR Vista Tips and Tweaks Guide

[I♥RAM]

Should I do this tweaking guide for Vista 64-bit or would I still get a faster computer using XP Pro 64-bit? Or would I need to tweak the XP as well to beat Vista?

This question will be debated endlessly if you let it. The thread is a Vista thread and works great on 64bit Vista as that is specifically what I did all my testing and compiled it with.

In my experience, it worked great for me and it worked equally well on my friends M1530 with a 64-bit Vista..

Hey, I hate to be picky, and I may have mentioned this before, but it should read verbatim instead of verbatum right here:

Good luck. Don't panic if something appears not to work correctly and, most of all, ensure you follow the instructions VERBATUM when effecting a tweak. Members are always available in the forum to help you along. Also, there is another valuable thread which provides access to the best Free Software found on the net compiled and maintained by Calvin. Feel free to check that out here once finished with your tweaking and tuning.

Gary,..reformatted like you said after my bios issue, set everything up, and ran your defrag. Its been on the first line for around 15 min now, and the task mgr doesnt show and of the dfr tasks going on. Any thoughts, is it safe to shut down or leave it for a while longer? Thx

Are you CERTAIN none of the tasks are show up on the processes tab? Be sure you have clicked the button on the lower left of the task manager interface to show tasks from ALL users.

DO NOT CLOSE THE COMMAND WINDOW, LET IT RUN UNTIL IT CLOSES ON ITS OWN!!!!!!!!!!! Watch the disk activity light it should show a lot of activity.

Monk > You might have to check show tasks from all users or something like that... when running as a admin and if u r not logged in as an admin, the task might not show you... you might need to enable task manager to show all tasks from all users...
