Windows XP to make more faster

Did you know that you can still be able to squeeze out some more performance power just by simply disabling unneeded services on your Windows XP? Some people are asking me why am I still giving tips for Windows XP when there is Vista and the upcoming Windows 7, the quick answer is “I love XP” and there are still more people that chooses to stay with XP even the eye candy Vista is out there. Some reasons maybe it’s hard for them to use Vista, they don’t have the power to run the resources hungry Vista, compatibility issue or just really love XP. To all single user XP lovers I have here some list of services that you can disable without any ill effect to your system. This tip will not only make your XP system run a little bit faster it will also make your XP computing more safer.
