To Compress or Not
When "Cleaning" my C:, is it best to Compress or not (in relation to gaming and what not) I'm speaking about Disk Cleanup feature in Windows. Any help is good help on this.

WORD. The only time you would ever CONSIDER compression is on a removable drive, archive drive, remote drive. Sure it saves you space, so for archiving, storage, it's alright, but just remember, hehe, for every ACTION there is a REACTION, ie. if you compress, then you will have to decompress. If you are THRILLED with your hard drive speeds now, wait untill it has to decompress stuff all the time. Nooooooooooooooooooo.
Good question man.

Defragggin is the best thing you can do, I use "diskeeper" which is the s**t. And I defrag everyday. Kinda have too when I read/write over 20-30 gigs a day.
Other than that its keeping your computer "clean" from viruses, spyware, adaware, etc.
Also you can type "msconfig" in your run box and go to the "startup" tab and decide what you want to have automatically load when windows starts, that will decrese your startuptime. Also enable "fast boot" or "quick boot" in your bios.
If you would like to be really leet you could do a Raid 0 setup, 16k stripe has been working great for me. I almost upped it to a 32k stripe, default cluster size.
There are more things you can do but I am feeling lazy...... The last thing I want to do when I come home is work on more computers! hahahaa Take care bro.

If you want a good cleaning + registry cleaner for freeeeeeeeeee??
Check this sofware out...
www.ccleaner.com
if all boxes are checked/applied, you can clean 90% of your computer temp. and unwanted files...
after using the internet/firefox. I use ccleaner to get rid of all those temp files. Each night it delets 78mb - 120mb of useless pron files....
