Memory usage after updates.

Disabling Superfetch frees A LOT of memory. I suppose it is something to be expected, but is there a way to know what is superfectch doing or waht is it caching ?

Yes use the resource manager, umh task manager, and you can see what resources/files are being loaded and what process is doing it.

about KB938371, as i recall from my exp with vista thats the update that allows better compability with future service packs & updates. It will most likely trigger an event of backup files etc Perfectly normal.

As you may or may not know, winsxs sidebyside assembly has exploded in activity with vista which is one of the reasons why it demands so much more storage space.

Last time i had vista installed it took a whooping 25-30gb with many programs installed, usually about 10gb just after installing adobe programs, this was on x64 as well.

Personally, i'd integrate that KB938371,latest version of it, before slipstreaming servicepack 1 on vista. Then the old version of KB938371 wont be integrated,installed since the newer version takes priority.

I did this and it worked for me, saved small space on iso as well.

Hm, I've been wondering about that, too. Right now I'm doing all this tests using an MSDN version of vista that comes with the KB938371 pre-integrated. And vista, after install, asks me to install the - I suppose - new version of this KB.

But... can I integrate the new KB938371 on my ISO, even if I use the MSDN version with preintegrated sp1+ KB938371 ?

bokeron2008: Vista Sp1 contains the old version of that KB. By integrating the KB before you slipstream SP1, that SP1 version of the KB isnt installed in the first place, since you already integrated the latest version of the KB before SP1. At least this was my experience.

But what if my iso comes with sp1 AND KB938371 (I suppose is the old version) PRE INTEGRATED, can I integrate, again in this iso, KB938371 ?
