had my i6000d for 2 mos. now and initially had 68 processes (mostly useless junk preloaded by dell) running at the background.. well, after doing a clean install last month, and a couple of games and softwares added ,i'm down to 50 ... notebook is now lightning fast whooohooo...so, just wondering, how many processes are you running?

I've got 40, but that includes SpeedSwitchXP, ATITool, I8KFANGUI, etc. that is always running. Then again I did a fresh install, so mine runs super-fast at the moment.

I don't have an i6000, but I'm running about 54 processes right now on 512MB RAM. 4 of these processes are svchost.exe. Is that strange?

Dang. You guys have fast computers. I have about 35 processes running after disabling everything, and my computer is still slow. Of course, it is from 5 years ago, and now the computers are like 3-4 times faster. Oh well.

30?...dang...here's another question for everyone... my i5100, with the same programs/software and games (less internal wireless card, bluetooth, and nero 6 ultra,) with a clean install gave me 32.. is there any special reason why my i6000d is running 50's ? i don't think 3 extra items constitutes the 20 extra processes running?...unless i'm wrong and ? oh, and there's no way for me anymore to compare/check the processes between the two since i have given away my i5100...

I wipe out everything, recover the hidden 47 mb that Dell hides and I got 30 processes running.

38 base. Was 65 with norton. No reformat, just a run through of things that need to be taken out.

I haven't formatted in a few months (saving that for this week when my 80Gb HDD arives!) and I have 57 processes on 1024Mb RAM.That includes NIS, MSN, Firefox, Centrino Hardware Control, GMail Notifier, Quickset, BT, and Activesync.

Looking forward to reloading it though. My Virtual PCs run faster!
