    You could benefit for adding RAM. 4GB of ram seems works best with 64bit.
    Also some AV programs will slow down your system. I have had good luck with MSE.

    Brink and I agree on the optimize Windows 7, as it is part of my post.. It is really good. Two members suggest the same. I suggest that you give it a try. Again, stay away from the fancy tweeks.

    I agree too. That's an excellent performance how-to guide.

    When it comes to turning services off, do not disable superfetch as many recommend. If you don't use a homegroup, do disable the two services for that (or at least set to manual). Just remember that you turned them off.
