Changes to Superfetch to make it not as aggressive on RAM usage

this makes Win7 worse. The responsiveness of Vista is better because of the better Superfetch.

One thing I can say is that vista is much faster on this computer than 7 ever was.

If you give me the hardware id I can find the latest driver that supported vista

Hey, if you are happy with Vista, then by all means keep using it

PCI\VEN_1814&DEV_3090&SUBSYS_663211AD&REV_00

PCI\VEN_1814&DEV_3090&SUBSYS_663211AD

PCI\VEN_1814&DEV_3090&CC_028000

PCI\VEN_1814&DEV_3090&CC_0280

Though you dont need to since some guy on the HP forums found the driver. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware/Hp-Pavilion-p6510y-desktop-network-controler-for-Windows/td-p/3530305

(oh, jeez...) :blushing: That's what I really meant - Trade ya one PID/VID for two VEN/DEV's. :zzz:

How about 2 for 4. Seriously though thanks for ya help. OT: curious though do you have some webpage so I can do better google searches. I remember ages ago they taught me in school but no one cared to pay attention, but now I see the importance when finding things like dang drivers.

Hey MagicAndre1981:

You mention that Windows 7 is worse than Vista because its SuperFetch is less aggressive? I would be cautious with that statement. Both times I have installed Vista, I have found there to be better performance using just conventional prefetch. I have seen other systems showing this as well. Perhaps, the system was slow in relinquishing memory from SuperFetch use to regular application use, thus causing a bottleneck. Who's to say? I would say that in practice, Windows 7 outperforms Windows Vista in this area.
