Dag nabit! I did it again...

My little Lifebook has only 1GB of memory and is running Windows 7. When I initially installed Windows 7, it ran fairly well but lately, it's been draggin' ass. So this afternoon, I decided to see if I could grease its wheels.

I plugged 'speed up windows 7' into google, clicked on a site I knew as reputable and found a list o' tweaks.

Instead of doing what a smart person would do, I just plowed down the list and tweaked away. Futzing with this, twiddling with that. I ended up making about 7 changes. I rebooted. It's way snappier now which is great.

But, I have no idea which of the 7 did the trick! Guess I will figure it out when I install the retail version.

For now, snappy is good.

I'm hoping that 7 lives up to the hype. Thus far I have managed to avoid Vista altogether (except for dealing with my ife's laptop that came pre-ruined with it), and I'd really like to avoid ever having to deal with it again if at all possible.
