Found this trick, may help if you have problems running some games or want some more CPU power.

Yep, that's a good tip.

Using different profiles is another option eg different user accounts and
hardware profiles (still possible with Vista, but slightly trickier to set
up).

This will cause none M$ programmes to not load. So any Firewall or Virus scanner will not load or
work?!
Then when done playing you have to set them all back to load at startup?!

hmmm ... that has to be the worst 'tip' I have ever heard of. If you have to go through that all the
time, maybe it's time for a new computer!

.... or a new game. If a game doesn't make you temporarily forget your
firewall and antivirus, then it's probably not worth playing.

Actually I'd agree. I play most of my games on XP - but for everyday stuff,
Vista (once you get it set up) is nicer and more exciting to work with.
