30sec Guide to Improve FPS (without making Vista look like poo)
This is my first guide for Crossfire which helps pull a few more FPS out of your system (Vista only). This guide is a simple tweak to the technique used in this guide:
http://forum.z8games.com/showthread.php?t=76207
That guide is extremely useful though it makes Vista look like Windows 98, this guide still keeps the performance but also keeps the look of Vista.
1) First go to your desktop
2) Right-click on Computer (My Computer) then select properties
3) Click Advanced system settings in the left hand sidebar
4) Press Continue when the UAC comes up
5) Click the Advanced tab
6) Under Performance click settings
7) Choose the Visual Effects tab
8) Click Custom
9) Go right down to the bottom and click only “Use visual styles on windows and buttons”. Leave the rest of the boxes blank.
Hope this quick guide helps.
If this guide gets a good reception ill share some of my other secrets which I use everyday.

Srsly who uses vista anyways?
Its either xp or win7 ..and for gaming everyone prolly chooses xp
Oh and if you do make your vista look like poo ..it gives about 10-20 fps
Alot of people uses Vista, not as much as XP or Win7 but still (For example who bought a license).
Anyway I've seen alot of the same tip, try to use search bar 1st

I had Windows 7 Ultimate N, but I downgraded back to Vista Premium.
7's ridiculously unstable, and terrible for gaming.
