kickarse Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 So we ALL know that Vista is a resource hog out of the box. For me it took around 500mb.I had to disable or manual set many services.Heres a list of what I did...Turned off UACDistributed Link Tracking - DisabledInternet Connection Sharing - DisabledOffline Files - DisabledRouting and Remote Access - DisabledSecurity Center - ManualTablet PC Input - DisabledWindows Defender - DisabledWindows Error Reports - DisabledWindows Event Collector - DisabledWindows Search - Disabled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Issy1993 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 To be honest, i don't think vista is worth it anymore if people start to rip it up from its bundled services, don't bother to get vista if your computer can't support it. For me, i went as far as getting an Alienware Area-51 ALX with my copy of Vista Ultimate, at least now i know im set for another 3-5 years.

kickarse Posted February 6, 2007 Author Share Posted February 6, 2007 The vlite utility is for the iso creation...Anyways some people just don't have 2gb of ram YET. Anyways thanks for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymous_user Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 (edited) u can use vlite for removing some components of Vista (thus reducing bloat/footprint) and it can also disable UAC. Edited February 6, 2007 by anoymous_person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtwarrior Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I have seen an iso of vista about 350 mb and runs easily on 256 mb of ram. All needed stuff is still in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is simply no reason to consume resources with unused elements. There are plenty of reasons to get Vista even if new features are disabled: Aero, a re-written TCP/IP stack, WDM and DX10, and so on.By the way, I don't think anyone will be impressed by your purchase of a riced Dell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickarse Posted February 7, 2007 Author Share Posted February 7, 2007 ^^ I have to agree with you kat. Just because Vista bloats doesn't mean we need to keep it that way. Just look at XP.... same evolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
