I will give you a run down on my SYSTEM and if you know what i should remove please Reply.

AMD Athlon 64 3000+

NVIDIA Geforce 7900 GT/GTO

1GB of RAM

Mother board is something like this: GYGBITE GA-K8....

just remove the ones you KNOW you don't need

no harm in leaving some even if you don't need them...

You didn't give us a rundown exactly, but you can try keeping these and see how it works:

Bluetooth + Infrared (if you have bluetooth)

Brother (if you have any such printer/scanner)

CPU AMD

Firewire + network (if you have any FW or iLink ports)

Floppy (if you have FD)

IEEE 1284.4 (if you print/scan via USB)

Iomega (if you have zip)

Joystick (if you use any)

Logical Disk Manag.

MS Color Manag.

Modem support (if you plan on using dial-up; PCI or external)

Ports

Printer

SD host and Sony MS if you use any

Teletext (if you watch TV on PC)

USB audio (if you use any portable audio device)

USB ethernet (this is not for LAN; it is for USB ports coming out from your motherboard via ethernet; keep if you are not sure)

USB video Capture (if you use a webcam)

Video capture

Windows Image Acq.

You might also consider keeping some PCI/IDE controllers if you are not sure; I don't keep them, but it's like 10KB each!

And, if you are planning on upgrading your PC, you might also consider keeping other things you might need, e.g. CPU Intel or Multiprocessor (for core duo or AMD X2) or whatever. Or make another nLite compilation at that time!

Be aware, though: it's all about trial and error...

Hope eveything works for you!
