Anyone tried disabling Superfetch on Vista?

Nope. What I'm guessing would happen is you'll save a bunch of hd crunching at first boot, but it'll take your apps longer to load when you launch them.
 
Don't turn it off. One of the major reasons that people see Win7 as being more memory efficient than windows is because MS changed the way they report memory usage, They used to report it in terms of actual free memory, now they include the cached memory as freed memory.

Why would you want gigs and gigs of memory basically doing nothing? It is a waste. Freeing data from memory is an extremely fast process, so why not try to load it up with applications you frequently use? It essentially costs nothing and provides a big boost.
 
Win 7 / vista is actually faster at app launching then XP SP3. Because of the superfetch.

I also notice that in XP, going from 1GB ram to 2GB ram you feel no difference UNTIL you have tons of stuff open. Windows 7 or Vista seems to really feel faster with ram upgrade over how it felt with xp.
