I agree with Firedemon7. These services will definitely speed up your system as those services use up system resources. Check after tweaking the services as Firedemon7 stated, try looking at your Performance under Task Manager and see what difference it makes.

@Tom: This works because if those services are useless and are never started [Like I don't have a tablet PC and don't use tablet PC functions] setting them to manual will speed up your computer because they are not running...Although when they are needed it will take longer becuase they were off until that point...

Setting services to MANUAL does not make your Windows faster, instead it makes it slower as those services need to be started by request. Besides that, the only real improvement is disabling indxing/searching if you don't use it. Disabling ReadyBoost will only get your performance down.

Why are people still posting these hoax tweaks, has anyone ever did a benchmark? And a few MB memory less is not an improvement at all.

You suggest disabling Readyboost service if users do not use Readyboost flash memory. However, I seem to recall reading somewhere that Readyboost service is required for other purposes.
