hi i've gt windows 7(ultimate 32bit) running in my pc --see the signature
i use kaspersky 2010 as my anit-virus and i have dedicated a 100gb partition to my c drive which has the windows setup in it.i don't use any gadgets/widgets and transparency is set to 0%.
my cpu usage as well as memory usage are very high
the cpu usage at any given time ranges from 5%--60%
the memory usage is anywhere between 500mb to 710mb.(i use 2gb of ddr 400ram from transcend)
the aero themes are on.
please give me a list of processes and services that are not needed and can be stopped.
also help me bring my memory/ram usage down.
please help me streamline my pc's performance---its not as smooth and responsive as windows xp.
i would like to get my pc all tuned and smooth before i start installing games.
the list of applications i use:
vlc player/k lite+ media player classic--for video playback
foobar 2000 for music
irfanview/adobe photoshop cs 3
microsoft office 2007
adobe acrobat reader
a few word to pdf/html/text convertors
wamp server 2---php
comodo registry cleaner
canon mp140 mfd with its applications
google chrome/mozilla firefox
trillian for chatting
the drivers i use are:
the latest windows 7 drivers for nvidia my 8800gt
vista drivers for my nvidia based motherboard chipset(nforce 4 ultra)
razer salmosa driver v.1.01
the cpu has been running at stock for this os @ 2.2ghz
thanks a lot in advance!
