A very good article about ways to make Windows Vista perform better on borderline hardware.

I decided to keep only these settings activated in visual effects. It gives a nice balance between speed in good looks.

• Show preview and filters in folder
• Show thumbnails instead of icons
• Show window contents while dragging
• Smooth edges of screen fonts
• Smooth-scroll list-boxes
• Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop
• Use visual styles on windows and buttons
