I currently have 75+ Processes running. I think that is ridiculous. I have 2gb ram on my laptop… 1.5hgz x2 core duo

If i installed win Xp I feel that my laptop would run 2x as smooth…

So does anyone have hints tips to make vista run with less processors?

the answer is by SaM :
There are programs for Tweaking Vista Services (i.e. Disabling or changing to Manual) , but I recommend that you tweak them manually according to this guide

In that way you can leave the services that you think they are important for you.
