    Mine came with about 77 running at start up and I have XP home, I uninstalled some programs and did the msconfig thing but could only get it down to 64 on start up, probably still to much. To me the computer feels pretty fast and can start up in under a minute thirty so until/if it becomes a problem I'm just going to let it be.

    Right now on this old desktop? 26. It's very old, and it running slow with only 26. Can't wait to get my laptop, i think i'll still try an keep the processes low though, don't want to run down the battery.
