Getting rid of unnecessary services to free mem

[FuzionMan]

Hello:

I want to do a fresh install of XP Pro in the next week and I want to make
sure that un needed services aren't hogging up my memory.

Can anyone point me out to a site or give me some tips on what I can disable
?

I will be using the PC mainly for internet browsing using a cable modem
through a linksys router, connected to 3 other computers to share files.
Also play 3D games every once in a while. I Like doing a lot of multimedia
as well, such as photo shop, or watch DVD's. Thanks guys...

Jason

Any advice given is my attempt to show appreciation for all
the excellent help I've received here but I'm no MVP so it
may only apply NUGS. Personal attacks, nitpicking & criticism
of anything but content will NOT be responded to. Those
posters should spend their time taking the test @

Agree with Wes and the others about Black Viper. BV also has the
information about unnecessary services in a downloadable .pdf file.
