Hello...feel free to drop your opinion here !! Make sure dun give fake info r hahaha

add more ram la bro...

If you can find CHIP magazine May issue you will find a lot ways to decrease time required to load Windows Vista.They managed to cut 20sec of windows loading time.

erm erm......i dun buy chip mag leh

if im not wrong...vista have some feauture called readyboot(not readyboost)...it can improve booting time..^^...btw...defragmenting boot file can improve booting speed..too

Main article: Windows Vista I/O technologies

* SuperFetch caches frequently-used applications and documents in memory, and keeps track of when commonly used applications are usually loaded, so that they can be pre-cached and it also prioritizes the programs currently used over background tasks. SuperFetch aims to negate the negative performance effect of having anti-virus or backup software run when the user is not at the computer. Superfetch is able to learn at what time of a given day an application is used and so it can be pre-cached.
* ReadyBoost, makes PCs running Windows Vista more responsive by using flash memory on a USB drive (USB 2.0 only), SD Card, Compact Flash, or other form of flash memory, in order to boost system performance. When such a device is plugged in, the Windows Autoplay dialog offers an additional option to use it to speed up the system; an additional "ReadyBoost" tab is added to the drive's properties dialog where the amount of space to be used can be configured.[38]. ReadyBoost can also use spare RAM on other networked Vista PCs.[39].

* ReadyBoot uses an in-RAM cache to optimize the boot process if the system has 700MB or more memory. The size of the cache depends on the total RAM available, but is large enough to create a reasonable cache and yet allow the system the memory it needs to boot smoothly. ReadyBoot uses the same ReadyBoost service. [40]
* ReadyDrive is the name Microsoft has given to its support for hybrid drives, a new design of hard drive developed by Samsung and Microsoft. Hybrid drives incorporate non-volatile memory into the drive's design, resulting in lower power needs, as the drive's spindles do not need to be activated for every write operation. Windows Vista can also make use of the NVRAM to increase the speed of booting and returning from hibernation.[41]

hmm..other alternative?

use vLite to remove unnecessary components from Vista installer DVD, rebuild it back, burn and install. Sure will decrease your boot time with lesser space and RAM usage thanks to decreased amount of services running...

i heard someone said b4 about making vista boot in dual core mode

yea this wan i noe !!hahaa..now my booting time i think like 25-30seconds
depend on the pc mood sometimes

Add more power processor
example :intel core 2 quad or phenom

The easiest way is defrag the hard disk. Also install Vista on the fastest hard disk in your pc.

Ya
example:install vista ultimate on WD raptor HDD...

Try this...

is it this? http://www.chip.in/article/Vista-SP-1-tested.html

learn tweak ram?
my pc take around 20sec to boot to window
for me its consider fast edy

I learn to trust Chip as much as I trust the politicians in Malaysia. They are lacking a bit in Vista's technical know how, and I once had to email them when the glaringly printed many errors in their article about vista, errors that for a professional PC magazine shouldn't have done if the article writer bothers to check Microsoft's forum OR other Vista's inside guide. Somehow they have a tendecy to overglorify OSS and thus lead to biased articles

I did some start up tweaks here and there like delaying the start up of certain programs. It does work though.

msconfig -> startup -> unselect ALL of the apps there!

kinda lame tactic. Some audio drivers needs to be started up :3

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

Got money
*Upgrade your RAM
*Upgrade processor

or

*Defrag
*Configure your MSCONFIG
*Repair and defrag registry (not recommended)

Note = Editing and modifying registry may harm your system.

but isnt vista can auto defrag already

btw if i put maximum memory on msconfig will increase speed also?

Best setting = Default setting, dont play with msconfig unless you know what are you doing, else you might screw up your vista.
those advanced options are for troubleshooting only lol.

Reply to the topic,
1. Dont set sidebar run at startup, manually run it after enter windows.
2. disable some memory hogger programs at startup tab, eg quicktime, realplayer, nero and blabla, left the essential one enable.

Vista booting speed depend on motherboard too, my asus modo is dog slow when booting no matter what OS is using, because its need time to detect my harddsiks, which im using 4...
when only 1 harddisk is active, the booting times is dramatically decreased.
btw both xp and vista will checking the all harddisk after loaded all the drivers, so more harddisk = longer booting time lol.
