Re: Memory
If I understand what you think, I think you maybe expecting a little too much from a restore. All you really did is basically run fragmentation.
Check your startup folder and icons to make sure you don't have a billion things starting up. That's usually a good percentage of the problem. Those apps also don't go away, they just eat up real estate and memory. The worst ones eat CPU too.
Turn off all of the "visual" cr... that comes with Vista, that's a huge savings right there. If you turn off enough of those, it actually starts to look like XP again and you gain a pretty good percentage of your speed back.
