Disable Windows Aero In Windows 7
Windows Aero is the graphical user interface of Windows 7. The default theme of the operating system is making use of Windows Aero if the computer hardware and edition of the OS supports it. But not every user wants the features and effects that Aero offers, especially since Aero seems to be using additional system resources which can have an impact on systems with a low amount of computer memory.
We have monitored the cpu usage and memory usage with Windows Aero on and off on our test system and were not able to detect any wild swings one way or the other. Systems without Aero seem to use less RAM, 50-60 Megabytes less in our case. While this does not seem much on a system with 8 Gigabytes it could prove to be useful on systems with 1 Gigabyte or less.
