Note: im quite knowledgeable with computers (although this is my first vista computer, so i dont have much to compare it to), so no need to dumb things down.Įdit: i pulled out the stopwatch (aka phone) and timed things. Sorry to hijack the thread, but any chance you want to list any major things you've done to speed it up? did you format and get rid of all the lenovo software? im running the 1.8 ghz with 4gb of ram (in case anyone is curious). im wishing i had done a reformat when i bought the thing, but didnt get around to it. i've turned off a lot of the services i dont need, but havent spent too much time on it, and i've actually turned off some hardware like the modem and fingerprint reader. Yea, i've done a lot of cleanup recently, but i do have a lot of programs installed which doesnt help (even though almost none of them start at boot).
