    OK so I just built this top of the line gaming pc (no water-cooling though). It has Vista 64 which I love. But anyways here are some of
    the specs:

    And 4 Gb of super nice ram. The thing is, it really doesnt seem like it should be running as fast as it can. I even OC'ed the cpu to 3GHz, and it still runs Crysis at the highest settings at an average of 10 FPS, Which is not worth it because the ge-force 260. Which not much beats, was $450! I work at Curcuit City and they do something called optimizing with pc's and laptops. Which make them as fast as they can out of the box. All I know about it is they mess with the registry and a few other things which are beyond my understanding. So I have a couple questions:

    1. Is there any kind of software that will speed up everyhitng? like how fast i open documents, games, Ect... If so what are your choices?

    2. If there is NOT a program like that (the easy way of course), Is there a guide or some kind of documontation which would train me on how to optomize my 64 Vista?

    Thank you. :)

    to boost pc performance you need a faster processor and more RAM... to tweak, optimize vista...you can d/l any of the shareware thats out there (Vista Manager, ect) or go http://vista-secrets.net/

    Some general tip for improving system performance.

    1-Defragment your hard-drive regularly, using a free program like Defraggler, or Auslogics Disk Defrag

    2-Clean up your registry using a program like Ccleaner.

    3-Carry out a general system clean-up/optimization using a tune-up program like Advanced WindowsCare Personal

    4-Make sure your graphics card drivers are the latest one available

    Hope this helps, should increase overall pc performance, and maybe even game performance
