Making my Win7 really fast

Checked my BIOS and can't find any memory mapping

Just cause I dont trust MSE enough I use SAS as real-time protection too.
MB is on desktop so when I'll need to scan I will use it.

You may experience some drag with two.

The point of recommending MSE with Win7 Firewall is that they have no impact on performance and allow Win7 to be feather light and always instantaneous. Most other AV's introduce some hesitation, even slight.

I would let Windows manage Memory and use all the RAM it wants too.
Don't even worry about it.

I too agree, if you have a decent Video Card, it will run smoother with Aero enabled as well.

As far as further performance improvements go, your system looks fine.
The biggest bottleneck of any modern PC is the Hard Drive itself.

Installing the OS and your programs on a SSD will solve that problem.

Alright

thanks for the help!

Never install multiple AV programs. There's no purpose and it will slow the computer down to a crawl.

Absolutely! One layered lightweight Internet Security Suite and some common sense will keep your computer Malware free.

I use Startup Delayer
r2 Studios - Software

basically instead of having my pc try and fire up 30+ or whatever programs when it boots, it fires them up one by one over a period of 3 minutes, in order of most important.
you will perhaps have to think a little and work out any kinks.. (like 2mins of my time it was)

This results in having a functional desktop immediately after logging in. (open firefox or whatever and away you go) eliminating the hd thrash problem.

Thanks but I got no startup problems

If you aren't seeing 4 GB of memory, and you are 100% sure your running an x64 OS, then you need to look in your BIOS for something called memory mapping, or something like it...and enable it.

can anyone tell me more about it?

You could disable all applications that you don't absolutely need for example search and sidebar, use the lightest yet most effective AV software you can find and cut services down to only the ones you absolutely need for your applications, but ultimately Win 7 as with any other Operating System is primarily dependent on the computer's hardware configuration when it comes to attaining its peak performance levels.
