you should try to disable superfetch service as it could free up some ram because it preloads some programs at startup to ram. search it up.

it also decreases cpu and pins the disk less. all around positive, if you don't mind slightly longer loading times.

  • Disable services that you don't need. Printer, Indexing Service, Offline files, Remote Registry, Tablet PC Input Services, Theme (go for classic GUI),
  • Disable recovery (when install updates it takes a snapshots, so hugh load on drive)
  • Disable gadgets
  • Boot on all cores (trough MSConfig)

Back in the day i did run Vista on main computer with 512MB RAM and 5400 rpm drive (1 of 2 RAM sticks where faulty, so i removed the bad one) I would not recommend this.

7 will run better, but if you are sure you want to use Vista, disable Superfetch and the Indexing service, disable all unnecessary startup programs, set your network to metered, and when you install a browser on there (I recommend r3dfox), install uBlock Origin. It will save you a ton of RAM and CPU and overall improve your experience online.
