Device Manager using tips !!!

Device Manager (*Only enable advanced performance on STABLE rigs*)
[Vista tips]
* There are only two things to do here. First, open device manager and right click each individual component and select “update driver ". Let Vista do it auto; it seems to be pretty good at it, except for the fact that it often misses a few when you just run Windows Update. Of course, you may wish to skip certain devices such as your graphics card if you are running beta drivers or non-approved drivers; if any such drivers are not signed, see "disable driver signing" later on in the guide. To enable advanced performance, find your HDD, right click > Properties > Policies > and check "enable advanced disk performance". Works with SATA drives only; use only if one of the following apply to you: A, you have a laptop with a good battery or B, you have a UPS device (battery backup) in case of power outage. Rarely, enabling advanced disk caching can result in HDD corruption if subjected to sudden, sharp electrical disconnection. If you have a UPS device, there should be no risk. Be sure to right-click on “battery”, and check for an update to ensure that it will function properly in the case of a power outage. It even mentions under the check box for this tweak that one should be using a UPS device. If you have a decent PSU, you have nothing to worry about even without battery backup, but why risk it? You can do this to removable media too, but must use "safely remove hardware" before pulling it or you will risk data loss. A triple-ran, 10GB transfer of test files showed an increase on a 500GB 7200RPM SATA of nearly 13% in R/W speed (post SP1), so worth it!
