Windows 7 Ultimate tweaking

[cougar214]

Hi guys, I have windows 7 Ultimate installed on a core I7 920 system and I'd like to know if there are ways of tweaking my system for the fastest possible performance.

My system is as follows,

Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD3R Motherboard.
Intel Core I7 920 Quad core with hyper threading.
6 Gigs of Kingston ram.
2 Hard drives, One 160 gig primary WD, One 500 Gig WD storage.
Nvidia G-Force GTX 260 maxcore O/C Video card with 896 megs of ram.
Ultra 750 watt power supply.

If you need any more info just ask. I have a crappy factory cooler on the CPU so I won't even attempt to O/C the system now. I did setup the bios for the best possible performance as far as the QPI link and ram settings. Other than that I was looking for some windows tweaks that could boost performance.

Couldn't say, maybe disabling Aero theme. If you would have an SSD then theres a few settings to tweak.

Overclocking boosts your performance. Windows tweaks are more for how things look/feel.

They shouldn't be done unless you know exactly what you are doing and not before imaging your system so you can reimage it back if when you mess things up

Do not do this:
