    I want to make vista faster...

    I have tried some tweaks and adjustments that I found via google..

    any other ideas? Vista doesnt want to use my USB 2.0 flashdrive

    I have 1.25 gigs of ram



    if I up to 2, will I see any SIGNIFICANT improvment?

    How much RAM you need for good performance depends on what apps you
    run, but *most* people with only 1.25GB should see a substantial
    performance boost by upgrading to 2GB.

    yes but my ram shows that less than half of it is being used, for example I
    have 700mb free now.

    so what good would increasing it do?

    Hi Windows 7 M1,

    This will show you some options to help improve the performance of Vista. Step 32 will help explain how the RAM is used in Vista. Vista will work with the amount of RAM you have, but having 2 GB will help.

    Speed Up the Performance of Vista
