How-To: Optimize Your Windows Profile and Media Storage with a SSD
Posted 07/02/2009 at 08:57:13pm
I just followed these instruction to Optimize my (Turn on Bragging) New i7 650 with 24GB Ram, a 160 GB Intell X25-M, and a 2TB WD HD.
I already had a user account setup, so I had a lot of registry changes to make. The program they suggested costs $20, with no way to test the replace function, which is a little hidden. I searched for a free alternative, and found one.
Googled "Free Registry search and replace", and found a free program called "Registry Replace", it worked just fine on my Win 7 RC 64-bit in win XP compatiablity mode.
Just my 2 cents.

Home Premium (64 bit) limits the user to 16GB of Ram, if you have a computer with 24GB, you will need Win7 Pro 64bit or better.
