I am compiling a list of the best 64 drivers for my components, and I'd like to know what other gamers have tweaked in Vista 64 to gain performance. I am not interested in hacks which break the functionality of Vista; I'm simply looking for system settings changes that will allow the best performace possible.
So, who's done what to Vista 64? ~Raelf~ XPS 720 H2C Intel Core2 Extreme processor QX6850 (3.00GHz Factory OC to 3.67 GHz) 4GB Corsair Dominator DDR2 @ 800MHz Factory OC to 1066MHz Dual 512MB NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT WD Raptor 160GB 10K SATA Drive w/16MB Cache Seagate Barracuda 500GB 7.2K SATA Drive w/16MB Cache Creative X-Fi PCI Sound Card Dell ultrasharp 2408 24" Widescreen Monitor

It covers x32 & x64 versions of Vista. I am also using .NETSpeedBoost 6.0 Professional Edition, it's supposed to speed up your 'Net connection and it appears to be working:
