How many services do you have running on a fresh boot?

[2is]

I was just thinking about how far hardware (and software) has come in the last few years. Multi-core CPU's, stable OS like Win 7, cheap memory and the induction of SSD's and how nice it is to not worry about disabling services (anti-virus especially) to free up ram or cpu cycles in order to properly run a game. So it got me thinking, how many services do you have loading on initial boot? And who here carries arround the minimilistic mentality when it comes to managing your startup items? (not knocking it, just a curiosity)

I'm at 121 including task manager and 2.5GB ram used.

I don't feel like rebooting, but I have 157 currently on Debian, and I think Vista was pretty similar. Disabling stuff for "performance" is pointless, and many times counterproductive.

I run 33 processes on my gaming machine: Core i7 960, GTX 570, 6GB of Ram, 160gb intel G2, 500gb Samsung F3.

I run 31 processes on my work laptop: Msi x460dx-008 which has core i5 2410m, gt540m, intel 160gb 320 series drive, 6gb of ram.

Both run W7 Hope premium x64

About 75 on my desktop. Looking through the list I see probably 15 that I could easily get rid if I really card about minimizing the number, but why bother?

62 for me and 2.53gb memory used on system in signature

Around 100-105. I remember back in the XP days when I tweaked the hell out of it to get it to only boot with 25-30. Now I could care less, because Win 7 + SSD with 100+ processes boots quicker than my XP + 7200rpm did with 25-30.

18 services Win7 AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ 2GB ram

 

[stargazr]

89 - Win7 i3-530

I don't bother disabling any services anymore.

 

[gitano]

58 processes on x6800 dual core 4gb ram

and i agree on a previous poster, disabling services on W7 its not only useless but proly counterproductive performance wise.

63 on Win7, and ~170 (!) on LMDE, which I could probably trim a little

56, Windows 7 Ultimate. If your using java you can disable their jusched.exe it just checks for updates. Also, I've noticed that Powerdvd likes to run a couple of processes that aren't necessary.

 

[billyb0b]

69 processes for me, RAM at 2.85gb (out of 12gb total)

At a fresh boot, I'm at 57. But during actual usage, I run at over 100. Most are from Chrome though, as I have at least a dozen tabs open

 

[HeXen]

58 processes running. 11% memory usage at bootup. turning on my browser adds 1% memory as that's usually the main thing i always have on after boot up.

though to look at my desktop, its pretty minimal. classic UI and most of W7's components removed using RT7lite. not for performance mind you but purely for stability and consistancy as well as SSD space saving. Otherwise by a default install i'd be using 5 more gigs than i do now. Natural speech alone takes up a whole gig of SSD space, thats retarded for a gaming pc considering price of ssd per gig.

I still run XP Pro, and have 31 running right now, so I would guess at startup it would be 28-30.
