I was able to cut mine down to 130. Made a huge improvement.

Holy Crap! What all do you turn off to get it down to that ;( I thought I was fairly lean at 22.

That is at startup, with no windows/apps open off of a fresh boot. I am actually at 15 right now because i had to enable ICS and one other service for VPN connection.
 
I turn off any driver helpers or anything that loads in the system tray on startup. I also turn off a load of services i know i don't need.

You only need 6 processes. That also excludes audio ...

In this right moment, 25, but when windows has just started, only 22.

40.
Antivirus, Firewall, Spybot (both resident's on), WinAmp, FireFox, File Explorer, & OE are all running, too, so I'm sure that doesn't help things any...
 
But, then again, I've got 2Gigs of PC3200DDR on an AMD 64 3500+ (2.2GHz) ... C+A+D shows a 490Meg commit & *13%* CPU use.
I'm not exactly worried. =)P
