Dirvers

One of the most important things you can do to maintain peak performance and avoid incompatability issues is to keep your system and device drivers updated. Of course manually updating drivers can be some what time consuming.

Locating the drivers alone then searching each manufacturers web site for your particular model and acquiring the most recent software and drivers for each individual device is pain enough.

Of course if you document your last version and the most recently installed for restore purposes, this can add to your time spent.  Wouldn’t it be nice if we had a utility which could help with this process?

Vista the resource hog

Vista seems to use a lot of resources. Although I am using it on a laptop with a 2.8g duo-core processor and a gig of memory. It is still so sluggish even after reviewing and implementing known performance tweaks.

I am going to try the ready boost option to boost performance; especially considering the cost of laptop memory. Man the manufacturers really get you there don’t they!

If anyone knows of some good performance tweaks please let me know through a comment and I can post it after testing for others in my situation.

Vista

Hmm…has anyone else used the live one care service. I reviewed the documentation and of course I will not be using it soo as I already own a virus and registry cleaning software. They seem to require you to uninstall any software that is similar in functionality to theirs.

Maybe this is another ply for Microsoft to get more of our money……Ya think?
