AddictiveTips: Disable Windows 7 SuperFetch

geeknik · 2 months ago

Disabling superfetch is a sure way to 1) slow down the Windows 7 startup time and 2) slow down the overall Windows 7 experience.

I have 8GB of DDR2 installed w/ Windows 7 Pro x64 and I leave memory management and such to Windows 7. It does a fine job on it's own. :)

Sorry to I have to disagree. My new HP Desktop took over seven minutes to load. After I added more RAM, bringing it to eight gigs it took so long to load I thought the Ram was faulty, at last it loaded. I began some research that pointed out that Superfetch was the likely culprit. I disabled it and bam, my computer booted in less than two minutes. This also cured the horrible lag that Superfetch caused in my 3 Games.
