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!
 
You could make a start be reading this: Windows 7 Information

Windows 7 , even with default installation is very smooth.

There are innumerable windows 7 guides available in pdf format on P2P networks. Download some and you will get the required information.
