Windows XP:
 
Fresh boot = 16 processes, turning off hardware specific utiliy
like hardware monitoring and ATI driver services which is not
essential would be only 12 processes left with less than 80000K
commit charge on Task Manager. I can get it lower than 70000K
by turning off some more services but I can't accept it as it
will disable many functionality that I need.
 
Current settings is fully functional most of the time I use
it, some administrative program need Server service though,
which is turned off by me as it is make my computer vulnerable
to security attack from internet.

I figure this thread will never die, as long as we are running processes in our computers.

My question is this; how do people find these old threads?

Personally, I figure if there hasn't been a post in a thread for 3 months, tops, it should just be deleted. Not my server, but man man, why keep all this crapola in the database? How's the defrag doin? Heh heh heh

IMHO, locked would be better.

121 processes (Fedora Core 6).

LOCKED should be the preferred method in that you archive the thread and it's still logged by all the freaking spiders on the net, like Google

I find it isn't how many processes are running that makes the difference, but which process is causing my system to run at a snail's pace. It is usually the virus checker or antispyware that gives me most problems, so I have to pause the active scanning sometimes. However, the build I am running now has only 256k RAM with Windows XP SP2 Home. It is surprising how stable the system is with virtually no crashes. Often it is my higher end systems that give me problems.

65 Win XP SP2. I have a lot of network monitoring services running, but the system purrs like a kitten; it better, considering I have 4 GB RAM.
