    Hey,

    I just recently bought this product:

    http://www.staples.ca/ENG/Catalog/cat_sku.asp?webid=706944&AffixedCode=WW

    I'm just wondering what kind of bloat-ware should be removed, what programs severely reduce computer performance, and what settings should be tweaked to get the maxed performance.

    I'm a first time Vista user too, and I heard there's some stuff that slow down the computer.

    Also, recovery disks: is a double layer disk required? I only have DVD+R (might be DVD+RW, not sure...).

    Thanks for the help!
