Tweaking Windows Vista for Slow PC

Is Windows Vista only for fast and powerful computers? Not really. Technically, Vista can run on old computers with a CPU as slow as 800MHz. But Vista runs sluggish on old computers. For those old and slow computers, there are some ways to improve the speed of Vista, as explained below.


Stop unnecessary programs from running or starting.


Don't use the Windows Sidebar. This program is unnecessary and graphics-intensive program that slows your computer down. You can easily disable it from starting.


Disable UAC


Disabling UAC may dramatically speed up Windows Vista.



Disable Windows Theme


If you don't need fancy Windows themes, you can change your theme to a plain one or disable the Themes service altogether.
