Tweaking Windows 7 for speed/stability
OK. I have this wonderfully powerful machine.
It multi-tasks more than it runs anything that puts a load on it. The largest load I run is VirtualBox running XP as a dual-core 4 Gig machine. With that, I'm at like 12% load, and 49% memory usage.
What tweaks do should I consider for the OS to make it faster/more stable?
It doesn't get shut down very often, it just sleeps when everyone is AFK, and in this house, that won't change, as games get paused then continued the next day...
I do realize that putting the folders on a local drive would speed things up, but several user accounts access the same files [makes it VERY nice at times] and combined, they wouldn't fit on my SSD...
