Wanna boot up faster? Depends. I'd recommend more RAM. Just my 2 cents.

RAM will definitely help. 2Gb is just sufficient for Vista Home Premium IMO.

It's true 2GB, if you buy 4GB, please do remember that 32-Bit has a RAM limit.

clean up rubbish program/files
do not simply click ad...avoid visiting "FREE" website...

true... true..

delete all the startup garbages~~

I came across this tweak to enable vista startup to use multiple core...
I've tried it personally and does feel somehow faster.. You guys can give it a try and see if really works....

1. Click on Start then type "MSCONFIG" hit enter then click continue through the UAC we talked about earlier. This opens a small screen containing some interesting startup options, playing with this will allow you to start and stop most things that run in the background. The startup tab tells you which company each service belongs to so you can use this to try and slim up your startup. One of the biggest impacts you can perform to your cold boot is in unlocking the potential of your new machine.

2. Select the boot tab, then choose advanced options...

3. Check off Number of processors, and set that drop down box to the highest available number.

What this is doing is unlocking Windows Vistas ability to use multiple cores to start up. When Vista was designed in order to make it compatible with older hardware this option was set to (1) so that it will always use only one core. By unlocking it you allow Vista to boot using all of your cores this can lead to a boot time performance increase of 15-40% for a cold boot and about 10% for a warm boot or a return from standby.

boot defrag?

theres lots of 3rd party programs out there they giv a boost for vista...

ReadyBoost?

This is every effective!!! obviously my startup time has drastically improved. I would say it cut about 20seconds off..haha

Thanks for the good advice.

10 Second Vista Boot - - Believe it

24 seconds - from turning on the computer to using Vista...

This guy must be using SSD or something...

All startup programs should've been deleted and should've been SSD.

thx for this..
it rly works

but wanna ask is it will harm the machine?
n im using laptop so will it drain my battery faster?
temp will increase a bit??

Delete unnecessary file using CCleaner might help. Boost it with Raptor. (i just guess). Btw what do u mean :3 a nose?

hey thanks a lot for the tip! certainly decreased my boot time, i'd say about 30%.

huhuhuhu nice finding.... it even work with xp huhuhuhuhu i test it using my office pc

does overclocking helps?

I'm not sure if this will harm your machine.
I'm also using a laptop and i don't think it will drain your battery faster and temp might increase abit during startup 'cause it using both of the core...

now seems like i boot like b4 speed
just when i restart only faster
if fresh boot my laptop then the speed just like b4...or mayb slightly a bit increase only
