I'm running Windows 7 on a 1GB memory laptop, only having less than 35 processes and under 330 threads while idling. With G. Chrome open, that rises to around 40 processes and just under 400 threads being used. Here are the services that I am running. Please do keep in mind, I am not responsible for any damage that happens to your computer, apply the following at your own risk. ---> Open Run and type services.msc <-- -Application information -CNG Key isolation (disable if NOT using WiFi) -COM+ Event System -DCOM Server Process Launcher -DHCP Client -DNS Client (supposedly less stress on CPU at boot) -Extensible Authentication Protocol -Group Policy Client -Microsoft Antimalware Service (I think it's from Microsft Security Essentials) -Network Connections -Network list Service (set to manual) -Network Location Awareness -Network Store Interface Service -Plug and Play -Power -Remote Procedure Call (RPC) -RPC Endpoint Mapper -Security Accounts Manager -System Event Notification Service -Task Scheduler -User Profile Service -Windows Audio -Windows Audio Endpoint Builder -Windows Installer (set to manual) -WLAN Autoconfig This set up disables all the sweet Areo effects. To enable those leave the following services running:- - Desktop Window Manager Session Manager - Themes Also, to leave the "Ready Boost" feature running, do NOT disable the service Superfetch. Tips: 1. Go to run -> msconfig. Go to the start up and uncheck everything that you don't need (I don't have any running). 2. Use iobit uninstaller to get rid of whatever you don't need. -> http://download.cnet.com/IObit-Uninstaller/3000-2096_4-75161625.html 3. use iobit driver booster to get updated drivers. ->http://www.iobit.com/driver-booster.php 4. Use CCleaner to get rid of random $h*t. Good luck.
