Hehe, I've already done most of that. I've been a Sr. System Admin for ~11 years now (although the last 2 was ONLY dealing with Unix which is why I haven't used Vista before) so I know all the tricks that apply to "all" windows. So far vista feels faster with all the changes I've made, still slower than XP but not by much.

Couldn't test out 5 boxing last night because I'm waiting on keyclone to reregister my system key so hopefully tonight I'll be able to try

Only correction on the above post is that you'd actually want the page file to be at the end of the drive if you want it to be faster. Physics. Drive spins 7200 RPM, which portion of the drive is actually moving fastest? (Hint: its not the inside, its the outside) This is the same reason when you burn a CD or DVD, and watch the burn speed, it slowly increases the further you get into the disc, because the outside of the disc is moving faster than the inside.
