    I am curious many of you use Windows Vista on notebook with processes and services. I dont know which process and services should be removed.
    On my v6420US I have 58 process and services. I know it seems alot right? What about you guys?

    I have 37 services running, and that is including Windows Messenger. Ram usage at idle after bootup is about 650 megs. I can't believe how much crap was preloaded onto my HP notebook. I'm running Vista Premium SP1.

    I'm running 49 on a clean install of Home Basic with a bunch of security/performance apps installed.

    My Home Premium machine has 51 running on an almost year-old clean install.
