Hello Fatbluntsallday,

Other than buying faster hardware, the items listed in the tutorial can help improve the performance of Vista.

For that, we will need you to fill in your System Specs (see How to - System Specs) so we know what you currently have.

Plus, it really depends on how and what you use your computer for to determine what would help improve doing that faster and better.

hey shawn ive updated my specs, not sure where to find what type of motherboard i have

It depends on how much you wanted to spend, but I'd say that the biggest thing that would help improve the computer's performance would be to get a SSD (solid state drive) to have your Vista installed on instead of on the 5400 RPM HDD. A SSD would allow everything to be written and saved to it much faster that with the HDD.

Currently the best out there right now is a OCZ Vertex 3 SSD. It comes in different sizes to help keep the cost down.

Will your PC be connected to a Speaker System? If so may I recommend a Sound card

How many and what type of PCI/PCIe Card slots do you have?
