How to reduce the RAM and CPU usage on windows 7?

That's normal. The bottleneck during startup is not the amount of CPU time available, but actually the hard drive. Since so many different files have to be accessed on different areas of the disk, you're actually waiting for data to be read off the drive, and that's why the CPU is hardly doing anything.

Especially one as powerful as a Core i5. I have a new Gateway laptop with an i5-430M and that's about the same startup time I get. The exact time will depend on how many gadgets you have and other programs like Internet security suite and if you have other applets loading like Adobe Updater, Java Updater and all the other little things that want to load at startup but aren't really necessary.

If you want to try to trim some seconds off your startup time, run msconfig and go to the Startup tab, and remove the auxiliary programs that you don't need to automatically load. Just click the start button and type msconfig into the Search box and hit Enter, and it'll come up.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
