Last October I wrote an article on how you can effectively increase your Vista performance and I wrote there that the number one tweak for your Vista is to add more ram but what if you don’t have a budget for a ram upgrade? well here is a very simple but very effective way on increasing the performance of your Windows Vista, it is by limiting your Windows Vista visual effects.
