I think that “mscinfig” in step 2. “In the Search bar, type mscinfig and hit Enter”, should be msconfig.

That tip is a myth as vista already uses all of your cpu’s, It is for debugging if your having a problem with an application that may have a problem with either a dual core or single core.

Couldn’t confirm or deny the above comment in my 1,500+ pages of Vista reference. However, this trick isn’t complete if it does work. In the “System Configuration” window, “Advanced options…”, you must check the “Make all boot settings permanent box” before checking “OK” or it’s a one time deal.

This is a completely false tip. Like stated above, it is used for debugging purposes. Windows Vista/7 will automatically use the maximum amount of processing cores available to it. Also, if you are running a 64-bit version of the OS, the amount of RAM you are able to use will decrease to the limitations of a 32-bit OS. So, instead of being able to use all 4096MB of RAM in a 64-bit system, you will only be able to use ~3072MB.

Er, I don’t think this tip is false at all. I just tried running a couple of time tests and with one proc enabled (the default), it took 45 seconds from cold boot to log on prompt and another 45 seconds from log-on to showing the desktop. When I changed the setting to 4 procs enabled, the cold-boot-to-logon-prompt time remained at 45 seconds, but the logon-prompt-to-desktop time dropped to 28 seconds (38% improvement). Switched it back again to 1 proc and full cold-boot-to-desktop time went back to 1:30 (45+45).
