k, i have windows vista home basic, manufacture acer.
i need to free up ram and physical memory, but i have a few questions
i opened up msconfig, and im on startup
and im not sure what will happen if i disable some things
so, what happens if i disable, windows defender, RAID event monitor intel iaanotif.exe, and all the acer programs? and what will happen if i delete the games that came with the computer when i first bought it and some acer programs aswell, and are there any other ways of freeing up ram and physical memory?

[lolhi]

does anyone know?

If you do NOT know what the different items are then stay out of MSConfig.

With a Home Basic, you most likely have on 1 GIG or less of RAM. You NEED 2 GIGs of RAM or more to get good results when using Vista.

What error messages are you getting, that make you think you need to "Free Up" some of the RAM?

nothing error, i just wanna free up ram and physical memory so some of my programs will go a little faster, so heres a log...
