What kind of tweaks? Once boot up, is windows running ok or is it very laggy (expecially with antivirus+firewall)?

Tweaks as found on http://tweakhound.com/.

It used to be a bit laggy, but applying the tweaks suggested at tweak hound the system is running fine (btw have not gone through all the tweaks yet, so hopefully system will be running even more smoother once I've applied them all).

for anti virus i'm using avari (sp?) and for firewall i'm using comodo.
