Hey all.

Curious as to how many processes you have running when Vista boots up for you?

I have 53 and am wondering what the benchmark might be...

I have 63 running on my laptop right now. Not sure about my desktop at this time.

Ive got 46 on my desktop after starting all my programs (antivirus, msn, nero etc). 35 on standard boot up.

48 include AVG anti-Vuris

51, danget can it get any slower

[iMatt]

61, and Vista runs at a good spped. Not noticably slower than XP. Well, in one or two areas, hard to put my finger on yit though. In some areas, Vista is quicker. I suppose 2Gb RAM helps.....

Thanks for the replies thus far. My Ultimate runs quite fast, but I haven't really loaded too much on it yet. I have 4gb RAM (found out post-purchase that 32 bit windows sees only 2 - 3 1/2 gb )

I am wondering if it may be worthwhile to try to trim some of the fat and get the processes down a bit. My XP Home system runs with appx 35 at start-up.

53 shown for all users in Vista Business and on my Windows XP CUV266 P-3 coppermine 1 gig system has 34 running.

59 processes here. At first I thought this would effect gaming but I have not noticed any slowdown in a couple of games I play (COD2 and Quake4) though I do turn off Autoprotect in Norton before I play them.

Same amount of processes here.
Thought exactly the same about playing games on here but haven't experienced any slowdowns.
