Windows 7 is, finally, a great operating system.

Every version of Windows, has many services enabled, while many optimizing tweaks are not enabled by default. The reason this is so is because the installation is designed to support a very generic set of devices and hardware. The cool part of using Windows is the ability to fine tune it to your needs. Some call this tuning process “Hacking”, others called it “Tweaking”. I’m not really that worried about the name, instead I prefer focusing on the contentâ€¦

Before I get all technical, it’s important that you check your hardware and choose the edition of Windows 7 that best suits your system:

Choose Windows 7 32-bit if you have:

3GB or less system memory
Dual core or single core processor
Built in graphic card
250GB or less hard drive

Choose Windows 7 64-bit if you have:

4GB or more system memory
i7, Dual core or Quad Core processor
Dedicated PCI express graphic cards such as Nvidia or ATI
250GB or larger hard drive

Now that that’s out of the way – on we go to the good stuffâ€¦
