I would reccomend doing everything that MSB originally said you should...
EXCEPT:
DO NOT mess with the services under admistrative tools. I switched a number of them from 'automatic' to 'manual', and had number of problems connecting to the internet after that. Eventually I just turned most everything on to automatic again, to overcome the problem. I you're a pro (which I'm not) maybe you can pull it off, but for the rest of us, I would strongly recommend not messing with the services.
Other than that, everything else he says is top notch. I would especially recommend re-configuring the start-up services. Do this by running "msconfig" in run. Most of the stuff that starts up with your computer is crap anyway (crap that uses RAM).
But again...Beware of messing with administrative services...
