One of the things that will really slow down a vista system is the Windows Areo theme.

It is rather nice looking but can really eat up memory. So via ComputerWorlds top 10 vista hacks we present #7 turn off windows aero:

1. Right-click the Windows desktop and select Personalize > Window Color and Appearance.

2. Click Open classic appearance properties for more color options.

3. In the Color scheme drop-down box, choose Windows Vista Basic or Windows Vista Standard, and click OK. Aero will now be turned off.

You can also turn off bits and pieces of it if you like what you see but don’t want to lose the lot.
