This may be old news to some but a few people have been asking about which processes they can disable to improve their system performance.

There's an excellent article HERE that gives you a list of "safe" processes to shut down.

I always refer to this article when I do a fresh re-install of Windows and I have had no problems at all.

Your Mileage May Vary.....

Nice list realdeal. I tweaked my stuff back when I first purchased UT2004 and was having lag problems. Here is the site I used with lots of other good info.

This is another I used for whole system tweaking. I don't know how it would work with sp2 but should be just fine.
